new plugins for word press issue

    Hi, I am a non programmer and am having an issue uploading some new plugins on my WP blogs.
    The issue that shows when I either try to upload the plugin to the server manually or automatically with WP is this:
    chmod 777 /data/www/vhosts/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.info/httpdocs/blog/wp-content

    So I am guessing that it is an issue with permissions, but I am unsure how to change the permissions on this unix server through cpanel. I have tried but it did not take.
    Can anyone help please? Thanks!

    Hi,

    You can easily set permission using FTP software (Google filezilla for free FTP software). Then navigate to your site and the wp-content/plugins folder. Right click and select Prpoerties / permissions / chmod. Set to '777' and click save/ok and you are done :)

    Also, you can use your Cpanel user/pass as your FTP user/pass.
