Default ftp/ww permissions

hi all.. i've submitted a ticket but my email from my other host is playing up, so i cant get to it..

anyway.. new to all this VPS Hosting and got a problem with a CMS package and creating new pages. It wont allow me to create new pages via the admin panel due to "insufficient privilidges", now as far as i'm aware this is due to the fact that i FTP's the files as explained from the help section of the software website hosting.

"To access a file on a server, one requires a user account on that server. In general, the user account is password protected and assigned to a certain group. The following groups can be found on many web servers: ftp-user, root, wwrun-user. All actions and programs (e.g. FTP) which are executed on a system are executed with the permissions of a certain user.
Note:
Files uploaded via FTP to the webserver are in general assigned to the group: ftp-user. Files created via a PHP script on the server are in general assigned to the group: wwwrun-user. Depending on your server settings, files created by a PHP script may not be edited or deleted by a FTP program and vice versa."



So, how do i change this setting on WHM? i'm going to be transferring sites via ftp and afterwards i obviously want the php scripts to be able to change stuff and create pages,directories etc.. but at the moment they cant..

Thanks
adrian
