    I wish this worked for me BUT my university feels its not in their best interest to turn chmod(); on for all of us kiddos. However, maybe someone else will find this useful?
    open wp-admin/b2template.php
    go to line 120
    paste this
    chmod ($file, 0766);
    in place of
    echo “<input type=\”button\” name=\”oops\” class=\”search\” value=\”(you cannot update that file/template: must make it writable, e.g. CHMOD 766)\” tabindex=\”2\” />”;
    unfortionately, this is the error i get.
    Warning: chmod failed: Operation not permitted in /nfs/raven/u1/v/vanbossd/public_html/wp-admin/b2template.php on line 120
    stupid university.
    can anyone tell me if there’s another chmod function that i could try? its just plain annoying to have to go and ftp into the server every time i want to chmod something.

    I think this might work too if you put it in the same spot BUT it appears to require php 5 CVS according to php.net
    again, my university servers wont run it. anyone have success with this? btw, i’m rather new to php coding so please excuse my mistakes etc.
    $ftp_server = “severname”;
    $ftp_user_name = “username”;
    $ftp_user_pass = “password”;
    $ftp_dir_name_going = “used if you have to get to httpdoc or public_html or whatever”;
    // set up basic connection
    $conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
    // login with username and password
    $login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
    // check connection
    if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) {
    echo “FTP connection has failed!”;
    echo “Attempted to connect to $ftp_server for user $ftp_user_name”;
    exit;
    } else {
    echo “Connected to $ftp_server, for user $ftp_user_name”;
    }
    echo”<br>”;
    //change directory
    echo “Current directory : “, ftp_pwd($conn_id), “\n”;
    if (@ftp_chdir($conn_id, $ftp_dir_name_going)) {
    echo “Current directory is now : “, ftp_pwd($conn_id), “\n”;
    } else {
    echo “Couldn’t change directory\n”;
    }
    //trying to chmod somethign
    ftp_chmod($conn_id, 0766, $file);
    // close the FTP stream
    ftp_close($conn_id);
    echo”<br>”;
    echo “ftp closed”;
