Whenever I go into my ADMIN AREA on my new XOOPS installation I get a warning...
----------------------------------------------------------
WARNING: File /home/myusername/public_html/mainfile.php is writeable by the server.

It's current CHMOD is 644 and when I try to change it through my ftp program it just won't change. I've do it over and over and it just doesn't want to change. Can anyone help me here?

Sorry guys for answering my own question but I went into my cPanel file manager and was able to change it there. Thanks.

Anoying, isn't it? I found this out about cPanel recently myself.

wow you can chmod through cpanel! Holy Cow!
