I use SmartFTP, myself. I suggest you download a copy, it's free.

To chmod a file or folder, you highlight it, then right-click, select CHMOD, and away you go.

To download SmartFTP, go here:

In [URL=http://www.ipswitch.com/products/index.html]WS_FTP[/URL], select the file you wish to change,right-click mouse button, and on the menu you will see "CHMOD", click this option.

In the window there are 3 columns (Owner Group Other), with 3 boxes for each (Read Write Execute).

If you have a mail program you would set it's CHMOD 755 i.e.

Owner: read write execute

Group:read execute

Other:read execute

Each box is equivalent to a value:

read=1

write=2

execute=4

so in the above example:

Owner:1+2+4=7

Group:1+4=5

Other:1+4=5

Therefore CHMOD 755

Your provider should tell you this!

note: Owner is also known as User.
