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.

Regards,

The unix permissions that the popular ftp clients can set won't work on NT.
NT permissions (IIS) are set by directory properties in Windows Explorer, or (again, in IIS) the web site's properties in IIS Manager. Usually, administrator access is required to set these permissions.
For Links, the only permissions you'll need are "read" and "script" permission.
The permissions for IIS are "read", "execute" (don't use on a web accessed directory), and "script"-- with a "write" check-box that can be set (this isn't necessary for Links).
Hope this helps.
