chmod to 777

[neilb]

I got as far as step 4 below on the instaltion and I'm unable to change permissions / chmod the files to 777
.  I have tried right clicking them but no luck . My web browser gives me an upload option and an ftp option , neither let me change these permissions.

Any suggestions??

Step 4
For the script to access the folder properly, you need to change permissions of the following files and directories on the server. CHMOD these to 777 (Note: 777 has pontential security risks and may allow hackers to upload files to these directories to run phishing sites etc. If security of your web site is important, set it these folders to CHMOD 775 or tighter.):

tmp/templates_c
tmp/cache
uploads
uploads/images
modules

CHMOD?!? Well, in most cases you can alter the permissions by right-clicking in your FTP program on the directory or file in question, selecting CHMOD or File Attributes (or something similar) and enter 777 in the appropriate field. Otherwise, check the manual of your FTP program.

Hello,

... in most cases you can alter the permissions by right-clicking in your FTP program on the directory or file in question...

May be you should try another FTP tool ?
Beware CMSms may not be the right product for you if you don't know chmod.
