FireFTP (a FireFox extension) awill do it. Right click on the folder and
select Properties. If it's a folder, Properties Incl Contents.
It lets you set the numerical code (755), and also lets you set each bit
individually. (Full disclosure: I haven't done it with this program, and
when I tried it just now it said I didn't have permission. I changed
home machines, and may not have entered all the passwords yet.)
I originally did it with SmartFTP, which worked great, but isn't on my
current machine.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod begins with chmod basics, where the
permisions are described with a long string of letters, and then gives a
link to the Octal Notation method, where each group of letters is
condensed to one numeral.
