Whether or not you need shell access depends on what you are trying to do.

I want to create a folder! ... But it won't let me.. and before, when I tried to create a folder, it set the folder user as "99".. when the site user was 32149 .. but now its 99 and doesnt have access to create a folder :/

The SCRIPT user is 99.. the FTP user is 32149.

 

As long as you do not mix ftp and script data together, you will have no problem.

 

If you have shell access, you can use that to change permissions on your files so that user 99 can modify user 32149's files.

But what if I dont have shell access?

Then you have two options:

 

1.  Keep your ftp files and script files totally seperate.  Use a script to create new directories, instead of using ftp.  If the script creates a directory, then it will have full permissions in that directory.

2.  Ask your hosting provider how you can change permissions on your files.
