It means you do cannot write (create or edit) directories or files. You need to make sure that directories in your web root (nuke's home directory) have 755 permissions -- your ftp client should allow you to chmod those permissions. Some scripts require you set some directories and files temporarily to 777 permissions, so the install scripts can create directories, save files and edit existing ones.
755 means you, the ftp user, can read, write and execute (7), others (web visitors) can only read and execute (55).
777 means everyone can read, write and execute -- not very secure at all, so 777 has to return to 755.
Files, btw, need to be set to 644:
6 = ftp user can read and write
4 = others can read only
