I would not advocate chmod 777 on any directory you want to keep for
yourself.
It opens the directory for read/write for everybody with access to the same
machine.
In a shared hosting environment this is not very safe..
It may be better to have a little chit-chat with your provider and ask him
for a solution with an extra group that contains the original user and
www-data (or whatever apache is running as).
Then change to 774 <dirname>
or even
770
