The FTP user setup you are using may not be able to set the 777 permissions properly and isn't telling you that with any error message. I had that problem. I went to the hosting control panel and use the file manager application there instead of trying to do it in my FTP app, and set the permissions there,
It then worked!

I'm not sure what the '.' represents in the paths...

Is that the right path for the path in the ftp screenie?

We are using a dedicated host, and have recently upgraded to 4.03...

Thanks for any help
