I have a php script installed and when it creates folders, the folders give me a 550 permission denied when I try to edit/delete that folder.
What do I need to do to be able to delete these folders?
Can anyone help?

Thanks

you need change the ownership of the folders after they're created.

O.K. so I have to have my programmer add chown code to the script which changes the ownership of the folders after it's created? Thanks I will talk to the programmer for that.

But how can I delete these folders right now? Either through ftp or ssh.

Probably wouldn't work since you would have to be nuts to allow sudo execution for nobody/www/etc

I tried chmod the folders to 777 in ftp manually but it's still not allowing me to delete the folders. Keeps giving me 550 permission denied.

you need to write a script that does it and run it under the web server's context, then you'll be able to delete using ftp. alternatively if you have root just SSH/SFTP in and delete them manually.
