How to chmod

Zones: Linux, Miscellaneous Web Development, PHP Scripting Language

I am trying to set up an ecard program on my site. I use Linux. I have to chmod some files but can't remember how I have done it in the past. Attached are the instructions for the ecard setup. I have my files uploaded and database set up, now I need to chmod, but am lost. Please tell me what information you need from me so that you can tell me how to chmod 666 my files.

         
             Instructions:
 
Upload the folder sendcard/ and all subfolders/files to your website.
 
If you are on a Unix/Linux/FreeBSD server chmod the files sendcard.php, 
sendcard_setup.php, admin/config.php, admin/plugins/<all files> and
include/lang/<all files> to 666 (that is, rw-rw-rw) so that the web server 
can write to them.  To do this, you must either use your FTP program
and do each file manually, or if you have ssh access to your server
you can use the script chmod.php to do it for you.  Run it via the
command line:
% php -q ./chmod.php
