I used the same program for years. One problem I found is sometimes it does not show the new permission changes until you close the program and reopen it. And I used it on windows and linux. My version was about 10 years old and it was free at the time. and with it you should be able to set the permission just like I said.
Unix is pretty much the same a linux. Meaning not windows
On windows it would accept your changes but nothing changed. One of the reasons I like filezilla also is I can type the number in and also select multiple items to change.
As far as what you have some times your path can be a clue. Usually linux paths will be like home\public\bla bla Windows will be like f:\\home\bla bla but you should either be able to look in your server control panel or I guess call your host.
If you wish. Send me a PM with a logon to your site for ftp and I can check the file permission for you. It would be quicker for me.
There is no such thing as stupid questions. Just stupid answers.
