with CHMOD you can edit what permissions users/group/other have on a file/folder.

max setting is 777, this means files on your ftp can be read, writed or executed.

By default this setting is 644:

this means: user can read/write, group can read only and other can read only too.

In cotonti you must CHMOD these files in order for things to work (like avatars, user photo's, etc):

/datas/defaultav/
/datas/avatars/
/datas/photos/
/datas/signatures/
/datas/thumbs/
/datas/tmp/
/datas/users/

Most ftp programs support this in an easy way, just right click the file/folder on your ftp, and click properties. on the permissions tab you can edit the settings.

Skipping this step with your Cotonti installation probably means your site will not function properly. Just stick to the install instructions and you'll be fine.

Oh, I know of Vista and Win7 you actually don't need a separate FTP program, you can just use an explorer window for it (use address bar for: ftp://yoursitename.whatever).
