For starters the ftp access is through username - password, amazon ec2 instances are not configured to be accessible this way out of the box.
It would be nice to be able to configure SFTP Access on CS Cart.
Second, after installing an ftp client and configuring it properly the function does not work correctly. I suspect that the reason for this is that the "auto-set permissions via FTP" will set them to 755, this will still not work, according to another post i read AWS needs 775, is there a way to configure this?
Best approach is to enable SSH and login via ec2-user and then change the permissions per the other posting. I would not rely on FTP and it's extremely slow since every file/directory requires a separate FTP operation.

This is the approach i took, i was just hoping for an automated away of doing so for future updates (since if other people try to do this they would also have to SSH in and then might mess up something).
Unless the FTP user is ec2-user, you won't be able to change permissions of files/directories via FTP because all the files are owned by ec2-user and only the owner can change the permissions unless the set-id bit is set for that file (but we won't be discussing set-gid or set-uid here).
