    I want to install the instant upgrade plugin for wordpress, but i need to make files writeabale in order to do so. The thing is i don't have an FTP program, i just use godaddy interface to upload plugins. I am looking for someone with good rep to lend a little help and edit the files for me if i give you a temp login. I would greatly appreciate it. Here are the plugin directions:

    "Now you must make lots of files writable by the webserver, using your FTP program *
    Make your WordPress base folder writable by the webserver,
    Make wp-admin/ and wp-includes/ as well as all their subfolders and files writable by the webserver,

    Make all WordPress files in your WordPress base folder (except wp-config.php) writable by the webserver.

    Make the folder work/ inside the plugin’s directory writable by the webserver,
    As soon as you changed the file permissions, you should run the upgrade routine once (you can choose your current version, if you want). This will make the server take control of the files and protect them against being modified by other users.

    *) You need to apply chmod 777 to the named directories and files. If the you as FTP user and the webserver are in the same system group, or your server executes PHP scripts under the EUID of the FTP user (e.g. with suPHP), you will most likely not have to change any permissions. If you’re not sure, you can try running the upgrade without permissions changed; the plugin will abort without doing any damage if it cannot write to the required files."
    If you can help please PM me. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!!!!!!!!
