Sign into your hosting control panel and use the file manager there if you can't change them using your ftp program

Attributes are set as follows in the control panel:

Read / Write / Script exec / Full Exec / Browse

This is on all folders

This is what I need to do but I don't know how. Cant find this option on FLASHFXP


On a Windows Server, especially if running under IIS, you will have to right-click on the file, click on Security, and ensure that the "Internet Guest Account" or IUSR_xxxxxxx user has read and write access

Windows servers don't let you use FTP programs to change file permissions.
You have to use your hosting control panel to do that.
If you cannot get your hosting control panel to work, contact your hosting company for assistance.

I also changed the permissions on both the FTP and CP and It didn't work.
Apparently if your site is hosted on a Windows server then you must contact your hosting company to change the permissions for you.
Mine worked out fin but I am facing other problems. I don't know if its beacuse I am using a windows server.

yea, the hosting company helped me change the permissions, it's working now, thanks.
