im new at setting up a server, im setting up a wiki using media wiki http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki ive been following the instructions. i got to this point

If you are using FileZilla, right-click on the config directory, select "attributes...", and check "Write" under "Owner". If it prompts you for a number instead or if you are using a command-line interface, use 755 (Use 777 on Linux except for RedHat Linux). Alternately, you may be able to change permissions using a "control panel" provided by your web host.

when i followed these instruction i got an error message in filezilla at the top, i used 755 because im using red hat

Status: Set permissions of '/mediawiki-1.11.0/config' to '755'
Command: SITE CHMOD 755 config
Response: 550 Permission denied.

how can i fix this? and what does the error message mean? (i should have full rights on the ftp/filezilla)
