I have a big file I am trying to upload via ftp and it is giving me the chmod failed option when trying to upload it into "/sites/defaults/files/" directory. I can't change those permissions either. I am wondering how I can change those via ssh - and upload a huge file perhaps via ssh. Will gladly pay you via paypal for an hours worth of your time.

It looks to me you have proftpd with Limit SITE_CHMOD directive set to DenyAll on your server. If it's the case and you have access to it, just comment out the whole Limit SITE_CHMOD block and restart proftpd.
I am also guessing you are suffering from having Windows as your local OS. In this case, WinSCP will give you an easy interface to upload and manage files with SCP and SFTP in addition to FTP.

Hope it helps.
