Answer 1

You can chmod things within FTP, but the exact procedure depends on the FTP client you use (and some don't support it).

Otherwise, you'd have to log into the server box with a shell prompt and manually issue the command.

Answer 2

To view how to use chmod, use:
# man chmod

To chmod 777 use:

# chmod 777

Answer 3

If you are using FTP you should be able to right click on the file and change the attributes to 777

Answer 4

try man chmod or help chmod

if no manual, then do a websearch on chmod

Answer 5

Go to the terminal (shell) and type:
chmod 777 folder_name

Answer 6

its just the file permissions, if you can take care of that with ftp
