   When upload image in my site, I get this message “Unable to create directory /home/a8268984/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2008/10. Is its parent directory writable by the server?”

   Than I create a uploads folder in the wp-content directory,still have same problem.

   I got no idea how permissions set to 777 ?

   Thanks

   I have only used Filezilla ( http://filezilla-project.org/download.php ) so am not sure about other ftp clients.
   In filezilla you just right-click on the file/folder and the bottom line lets you set chmod.

   Login to your server with SSH, or get console access in some other way.

   chmod 777 /var/www/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins

   This all has to do with the permissions your ftp-user have to these directories.

   Maybe you could change the owner group instead, and its rights, talk tp an engineer ;)

   Right-click, choose Properties.... for some FTP apps...

   Cpanel File manager should allow you to make the permission changes to.

   I've used CPanel File Manager to manage permissions on websites.
