You should modify that a bit. You dn't need to be granting execute privileges for an image. Doing so opens up security issues if someone wanted to do something nasty like naming an evil shell script the same thing you name your image.

set the permissions on the directory to 777 .. although, you might be able to get away with 755 or maybe even 700 .. not sure how webservers treat the client connections :/

Generally as "world", rather than "owner" or "group". You do not want to give the world execute privileges to an entire folder. That should be decided on a file by file basis.

for writing to the directory you need wx on it. 733 not 755, donno why I said 5 before

and you need read (444) on the file...
