How the hell do you chmod a file or folder to 777 if...

...your damn FTP client won't let you and neither CPanel?

WTF?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Like Anubis said, use a better FTP client.

maybe your host doesn't allow chmod via ftp.. 777 is unsecure, may want to ask them about it

I've tried it through CPanel. It works on some files/folders but doesn't on others. Why is there a difference?

edit - i don't think it has anything to do with the host coz i use smartftp and I can chmod certain files and folders but just like cpanel can't do certain ones.

are the files you are trying to chmod owned by your user and group?

No, but along the same lines...Singapore, which RossMan recommended.
