Please help for a nube on installing

I am having a lot of trouble installing oscommerce cart on a lycos free web site.
I have the Installation and Modification Guide and I am using WS_FTP software to up load to my web site.
What should work in the cart by default ?
I do not know how to do permissions with WS_FTP.
I have tried to upload in ASCII but I only get the directory structure and what should the text file that contains the line DirectoryIndex default.php index.php index.htm index.html be saved as, it seems a very strange name and do I save this file as a text type file or what ?

Hi,

You save that file as a text file.

You will need to be able to change permissions at your host to install osc.
