Doesn't the host have a online filemanager where you can set permissions of files like the filemanager of CPanel.

Permissions on a windows server should always be fine... well, it is for me. But then again, I'm not using IIS tongue
You might need to change the owner of the directory to the user running the webserver.

If you use IIS go to the directory cache and under security add
write access for account IUSR_*Computername*. Then it should work fine.
