Just joined, no idea what I'm doing...:(

How do you do this step?

Step 4: CHMOD the following files and directories so they are writable:

inc > config.php to 777
picuploads > gif to 777
picuploads > jpg to 777

I have no idea what CHMOD means (looked it up on Google and still don't get it) and I'll probably need simpler instructions for the next step too...:( I even wonder how I got this far. I have almost no knowledge about making websites/editing websites so simple instructions and screenshots are extremely helpful.

So help would be appreciated...and if I forgot to mention anything just ask.

EDIT: Look at my second post please. (after the post below this one)

CHMOD means to set permissions for the file or folder. Permissions mean who can write, read, (doh help.. brain fart on the 3rd :P) Anyways, once you uplaod the files via FTP.. click on the file/folder & go to permissions.. then you can set them to the right CHMOD number as specified.

Thank you!
As you can see I am very lost! :)
Now hopefully I can solve the 5th step...

EDIT:
Now the 5th step isn't working... I do what it says but I get an error...
[22:52:09] 550 Can't change directory to /pokebreederz.com/folder/install/index.php: No such file or directory
-_-" I'm hopeless...

Alright...it sorta works...it goes to the file but it won't open the installer...It just highlights it.

EDIT: Duh...I'm a retard...I was typing it into the wrong place! It's good now.
Thank you Seapyramid!
