Question : web directory permission drwxr-xr-x

Hi...

Im trying to set up IKONBOARD and Im confused about setting my file permissions.  Im using ws_ftp to upload the files and it says to chmod to change the files permissions.  Isnt this a unix thing?  How do I change them through WS_FTP?  There is a button called 'DirInfo' that opens a text file with this displayed...

-rw-r--r--   1 320882712 4464  board_rules.dat
-rw-r--r--   1 320882712 4464  cgi_path.html
-rw-r--r--   1 320882712 4464  cgi_url.html

-rw-r--r--   1 320882712 4464  ssi_templates.dat



Im supposed to chmod the directory to either '0755' or '0777'  

0755 is read write execute for the owner and read and execute for the group and everyone.  

0777 is read write execute for all users.

How do I set these?


I tried modifying the text file and saving it...but when I disconnect and reconnect...the permissions are back to where they were?
By the way....I am uploading this to a free site provided by my ISP....
