Constant Permissions Problems

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or what, but no matter what I try, I always seem to get permissions errors.

I've gone in through SSH and done CHMOD 777 to the directories it tells me the problem is in, and it still gives me the errors.

What could cause this?

Some hosts reset permissions to prevent possible attacks if your permissions are too open. Could this be the problem?

possible...

How would I check who the "owner" of a file is?

hmmm, if your control panel has a file manager builtin then you should be able to see the user and group quite easily.

For example h-sphere often ships with a web-based file manager known as webshell, and this presents a very nice list of folders and files along with their ownership which can be changed on the fly by you.
