FOR YOUR REFERENCE:

CHMOD 777=

Owner: read, write, execute.
Group: read write, execute.
World: read, write, execute

CHMOD 755=

Owner: read, write, execute
Group: read, --- , execute
World: read, --- , execute

FINAL NOTE: IF SETTING THE PERMISSION ABOVE DOES NOT WORK YOU CAN ALWAYS CHMOD (SET PERMISIONS) OF ALL FILES TO 777. (HOWEVER EVEN THIS MAY NOT WORK ON SOME SERVERS.) IF YOU STILL HAVE PROBLEMS AFTER TRYING THIS CONSULT YOUR SYSTEM'S ADMINISTRATOR OR HOST FOR HELP.

ALSO - FOR WINDOWS USERS; YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SET PERMISIONS IN YOUR FTP PROGRAM. BY DEAFAULT SOME WINDOWS SERVERS ARE SET TO CHMOD ALL FILES TO 777 UPON UPLOAD. IF THIS IS NOT THE CASE YOU WILL HAVE TO CHECK WITH YOUR SERVER ADMINISTRATOR OR WEB HOST TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS THE CASE. IF ALL FILES ARE CHMODED TO 666 or 755 THIS SCRIPT WILL NOT WRITE DATA TO THE DATA FILES. HOWEVER YOU WILL BE ABLE TO USE ALL OTHER FEATURES.
