Permissions Not Working

I have tried numerous amount of times to select my permissions for a folder or file ...
When open the Permissions box and try and adjust my permissions Read - Write - Execute .. Do the APPLY TO .. Then CLICK "OK" .. Permissions do not save ..

Do I need to adjust the software to allow permission adjustments or is my software corrupt?

Post the system information from the menu: Help->About "System Information" dialog.

What protocol are you using? If FTP please post the log.
