They won't even allow you to change permissions via FTP? Most FTP clients, including WS_FTP, AceFTP, and QFTP allow you to change permissions of files. They let you change permissions of Owner, Everyone, and Group.

Make sure that the permissions align with the following:

777 = rwx-rwx-rwx =

Owner = Read, Write, Execute
Group = Read, Write, Execute
Everyone = Read, Write, Execute

666 = rw-rw-rw-

Owner = Read, Write
Group = Read, Write
Everyone = Read, Write

644 = r--r--r--

Owner = Read
Group = Read
Everyone = Read

755 = rwx-r-x-r-x

Owner = Read, Write, Execute
Group = Read, Execute
Everyone = Read, Execute

That is really odd that your ISP will not allow you to change permissions via FTP.
