      thirdly if you don't go directly to Google and wikipedia about such things, you're probably better off hiring a Unix admin to do such a thing
      Actually, he can change file or directory permissions using an FTP client. Many people here who have little to no UNIX/Linux knowledge manage to get by that way.

      The OP could look at this guide that shows how to change permissions with the Filezilla FTP client How to CHMOD directories with FileZilla - CubeCartForums.org Documentation

    Are you trying to do this on your own computer or on a hosting that you've paid for?
    If it's not on your own computer - simply launch your favorite FTP client. Log in with the FTP details the hosting company have been given you (when setting up the FTP-account).

    Info you will need is
    IP: In some cases "localhost", or a specific IP.
    Username
    Password
    Port: pretty much always standard port, 21.

    When all this is filled in, log in. Find the folder/file that you want to change settings on. Right click on it and choose "Set Permissions" or "CHMOD". Fill in 755 and then press Enter in the window that will appear.
    ---------------------
    It is much easier than it sounds... :rolleyes:

    Good luck!

    You would have to go to the file via FTP client (FileZilla, etc). Once there right click the file that it tells you CHMOD and select "Permissions". From there, you change it to the proper 755 permission.

    The first 7 means: the user can read, write, execute
    The second one said: the group of seven other users can read, write, execute
    The third 5 say: other users can read and implementation
