I am trying to install contao. easy going, adding it to my iis. php was already installed.
What i am being told was to install it with ftp safe hack. hmm never heard of this before, but he let's try it.
Started with my first problem, that i can't have an empty FTP host. Contao connects correctly and asks for a size, but then crashes with an uncatched exception... hmmmm ok
next thing was that ftp over ssl did not work in any way for me.. only was normal ftp
next thing was that i was not able to have relative level up paths (../../) so i had to create a junction.
i thought it would work now, but now i have this error "Permission denied" hmm lets check the ftp server logs.. and guess what, it does not understand chmod. did not even say a word about the thing that my ftp was not able to do so.

so i hang here and kind of exhausted of all the troubleshooting. what could i do here?

and p.s.: i am at hosteurope w/o plesk and added the one line which is recommended at the docu.
