Permissions error in admin

Hello,

I'm running Yabb SE 1.0.0 on an Apache Server.

I am able to change the templates. But when I click on "Forum Preferences and Settings", I get the following error:

2: Unable to create 'Settings.bak': Permission denied
(/home/altarboy/public_html/yabb/Sources/Admin.php ln 805)

My ftp client (Leech) shows my permissions as

\yabb drwxr-xr-x
\yabb\Sources drwxrwxrwx
\yabb\Sources\Admin.php  -rw-rw-rw

Leech however will not seem to let me change any of the permissions except for on the main \yabb directory.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks,

Tom

Found the solution in the Admin section (thanks Andrea)

Creating an empty file in the main \yabb directory with permissions 666 solves this problem.
