   I cannot changer permissions of any file to make uploading pictures work. I'm pretty sure I have things working ok, but I'm new to this, so I'm not 100% sure. I've tried changing the file permissions of the uploads directory to 777 so I can upload. Filezilla just comes back saying:

   500 'SITE CHMOD 777 uploads': command not understood.

   Please help me fix this problem. Everything else is working (I think), but I really don't want a site without pictures.

   Thanks

   Try this: http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions#Using_an_FTP_Client

   When you get it working, read the rest of the page to make sure you set directory permisisons back to something less than 777, or you wil be vulnerable to hacking.

   aboutbirds, based on this:

   500 'SITE CHMOD 777 uploads': command not understood.

   youve already tried what was just linked to.

   are you on IIS based hosting? do you know?

   whooami: yes I believe I am on the IIS based hosting, but I'm not completely sure. Is there any way to change the file permissions if I am?

   Three links on this blog dealing with image uploads under IIS; might have to get your hosting company to help change permissions.
