Uploading catalog

[New Seller]

Am using Business 5.1.0
Have previously uploaded the catalog successfully.
Have just upgraded to new windows servers with the same company.
Everything else works fine.
Now unable to configure the site and upload.
Settings are all correct and the "test" in Advanced Network Settings works fine.

Now getting error:
An error occurred while attempting to change permission of the file ActinicBasicCgiTest.pl.
The FTP Server retruned with a reply code of 500
The current permission of the file are 0666 and the required permissions are 0755

Hosting company say:
Windows servers don't have these types of perms for files or cgi scripts only *nix does - perl scripts work by default on Windows (as long as they are in the cgi-bin)

cgi-bin and acatalog directories in place on server

Tearing my hair out!!!! Can anyone help?

Thanks

I believe the hosting company are correct, however in a Windows server the permissions on the 'cgi-bin' needs to be set to allow all 'users' to read and excute the script, which effectively in terms of *nix means setting the file attribute to 755.
