According to http://expressionengine.com/user_guide/installation/installation.html, it says:

For most Unix hosts the following is typical, but you may check with your your host to see if more restrictive permissions can be used to    allow PHP to write to files (666) and folders (777). On Windows servers the following will not apply, but you will need to ensure that the the files and folders are writable by ExpressionEngine. You may need to to contact your host for this.

ORIGINAL QUESTION:
