You are the owner of your site. You should have admin priviledges to manage your site. If you can not modify your own folders and files there is not much anyone else can do for you. Contact your ISP.
Sometimes this happens as the generator is installed or when the forms are created. It is due to the php files being run as root instead of eing run as {your admin login name}. Root priviledges applied to a file can not be modified by you because you are not he owner of the files. Report this to your host and find out how to run your php files as you, not as root.
This is sort of explained in the forum that the previous link references.

I'm generating forms. The path to the form is:
/public_html / forms / use / FreeAdd /form1.html
In the directory 'use' I can't change permissions of FreeAdd or form1.html. Although I can change permissions on the other directories in 'use'.
I'm desperate for help on this.
Thanks in advance.

You can also look at this forum. Sounds like someone has a method of overriding root level permissions on your site.

I have admin priviledges and can modify all directories EXCEPT the contents of the directory 'use' created by phpFormGenerator.

I contacted the ISP, who made the changes. I can now change permissions on the PHP files.
Thanks for the help.
