I had the hardest time with this until I realized I could do it in FTP with IE. You just right click on the folder or file then select properties and this comes up:

[attachment=3728]

From what I understand, the current setting of this file is 655. If all the boxes were checked, it would be 777. If you needed to chmod any file or folder to that, you would click all the boxes for the install. Afterwards, you would just go back into the file, and change them back! Once I realized how to do it, it was EASY!!!

Wow, a 2004 member.

LOL...I didn't notice that...and just now installing the software????? Inquiring minds want to know!
