It simply is the permissions. You need a FTP program to do this. I am not quite sure what the 775 code means, but if you use SmartFTP you can just right click on the file and and click CHMOD. Then just enter the number. The code means that : you can do anything, you friends can do anything (this mostly is set by hosts for like you, customer 1 and customer 2 type thing and the public can excute and read the file.
CHMOD 775 means change the directory permissions (whatever directory it was talking about...) to:
Owner:
[X] Read
[X] Write
[X] Execute
Group:
[X] Read
[X] Write
[X] Execute
Public:
[X] Read
[ ] Write
[X] Execute
Notice Public does not have permission to write to the directory. You can make these changes in several ways, but the easiest for you is probably via your FTP program (You can't do this through IE).
Good luck with the site.

I have no idea I've never heard of ws-FTP before. Just look in the program and see. Try connecting to your host, right clicking on the folder you need to CHMOD and see if there is either CHMOD or permissions option under the right click context menu. Any decent FTP program should do CHMOD changes, but like I said I've never heard of the program you're using.
