I encountered a problem that appears to be related to permissions (same as this one). When I looked at the permissions of various directories in FireFTP, they all were 0000, which is obviously nonsense, since all the other pages are served without any problems. I only have ftp access, and I think its a Windows server (The header says Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.5).Ive tried a different ftp client, with the same result. Changing the permissions results in a 'SITE CHMOD 764 [directory]': command not understood error. A search on Google and SO for permissions windows 0000 and similar queries didnt turn up anything. How can I view and change the actual permissions?
FTP client says directory permissions are 0000

Yes, it's a Windows server. Permissions in that numerical form only work on Unix-like systems, not Windows. You'll have to set permissions using a different method, such as with Control Panel software, if it's provided.
