You seem to have totally ignored the advice you were given. You really should spend more time learning how permissions work on a *nix machine before you make applications publicly available. Its not hard but its not the same as Windows (if thats what you are used to) because *nix machines have distinct permissions based on users back when they were first implemented (for security reasons) while Windows has only added basic support for this functionality very recently.
I didn't start implementing applications onto a web server until I was sure I understood the implications of changing file permissions etc and until I was confident the sys admin here did that work cos he knew what he was doing. Be VERY careful with this kind of setup because you could possibly make your entire server totally vulnerable, such as Eno said by sending clear text passwords over FTP.
