 * If it is showing the raw code, something went wrong with either the download 
   or the upload.
    Which plugin ? Permissions do not affect plugins unless the plugin
   author specificlly mentions it.

 * I had this happen when I saved the plugin file with formatted text. You could
   try resaving in text-only format and uploading again.
