 * I’m getting the following error on the top of my screen, on every page of my 
   site:
    PressBackup: Can’t write on /home/theimpe7/public_html/wp-content/plugins/
   pressbackup/tmp folder, please change it’s permissions to 777
 * Warning: Can’t write on /home/theimpe7/public_html/wp-content/plugins/pressbackup/
   tmp folder, please change it’s permissions to 777 in /home/theimpe7/public_html/
   wp-content/plugins/pressbackup/.core/w2pf_init.php on line 78
 * I’ve tried to go to /home/theimpe7/public_html/wp-content/plugins/pressbackup/.
   core/w2pf_init.php to change the persmission, but when I do I just get another
   error. Any ideas as to how to fix this? I’m not very computer savvy so I have
   no idea what this even means! 🙂 Thanks in advance!

 * The message is telling you to change the permissions of a folder. You can do 
   this using an ftp program such as filezilla.

 * Thanks. Is filezilla a plugin? or where can I find the program? I know that sounds
   stupid, but like I said, I really don’t know much about the programming side 
   of websites 🙂

 * It is an ftp (file transfer protocol) application.
 * Versions are available for Windows, Mac & Linux. [http://filezilla-project.org/](http://filezilla-project.org/)
