I'm trying to replace settings.php file in working Drupal installation. I'm not able to do this. My FTP script is posting "Critical Error : 500 Permission Denied." WTF?

Its parent directory and the file itself have been automatically write-protected by Drupal. You need to change their permissions.

parent directory --> 755
settings.php -->644

Don't worry about leaving them this way, Drupal will write-protect them again.
