wordpress-logoSo I’ve been halfheartedly trying to setup a new Wordpress installation for a client that I subcontract for and I kept running into permissions errors when trying to update the Wordpress installation and plugins from inside Wordpress.

I generally just upload a customized folder set that has the same themes I use on all installations and the basic plugins I setup for all of my clients.  I thought that somehow, Filezilla might have done something strange while uploading this folder set.
