I was not able to get AbsoluteFTP to do the recursive permissions change. However, I tried SSH shelling in via the shell in cPanel and it worked (Shhhh, don't tell anyone I don't want to loose it) so I did a chmod -R 755 * and tried again. The install script worked this time. Thank you for your help.

P.S. gFTP does not have a setting for default permissions, but it does have one to retain permissions on transferred files. The ZenCart download is not a tar.gz but rather a zip file. So when I unzipped it on my Linux system it most likely did not preserve file permissions and set everything to 777, then when I uploaded it the 777 was preserved and thus set on the server.
