I really think you have transposed your permission settings. Here is a site with a video using a newer version of wsftp but I believe the dialog box should match and the example is for 755 but it is near the end of the video. Go HERE On the left expand Upload Your Site With FTP Then expand WS FTP select Manage Files At the end is a example for setting to 755 Just remember it is for a different version wsftp
There is no such thing as stupid questions. Just stupid answers.
