TP 0.9.8 install questions

[Delusions]

I am currently toy with the Idea of setting up a TP site. I noticed with the Auto Install file is requires FTP access. Currently I have ssh access to the box and sftp access. I was wondering if it possible to chmod the files that the auto install wants to do via FTP or if i am stuck doing the manual

The only way to know is to try.
But if you have a ssh access, dont you have the ability to chmod files then ?

I can chmod the files yes but the install script doesn't tell me which ones need to be chmoded. And I was wondering if its going to let me get past the FTP install

Are you worried about which ones you chmod? Just chmod -R 777 * and then change the Settings.php to 666. That should solve all your problems. If you fear the "777" setting, then just chmod -R 755 * after you're done.

Well the 777 trick worked (Which i knew it would) and it got me past the FTP stuff.
