 * chmod is a unix/linux command used to set file permissions.
    If you have ftp 
   access to your webhost you can use “FlashFXP” to set the permissions remotely.
   Other programs may support it to.
 * Setting permissions using FlashFXP:
    1. Connect to your host 2. Select target
   folder 3. Right click on that folder and choose “Attributes (CHMOD)” from the
   menu. 4. check “Write” under group and public, and you will see the number in
   the Permissions textbox change to “777”
 * Hope it helped.
 * The wordpress team is not to blame, its quite normal that you have to do this
   when you need to change/create/delete files on a webhost. It is for security 
   that php/java scripts cant alter your webhost files.
