trying to chmod / quite difficult ( 2.10 )

Just ran into a problem..
Tried to install spip 2.10
Not possible on my server unfortunately.. ( unix etc..) ( surftown.com)
Spip insist on that I have to chmod to files/folder named:
. ( dot) 
and
/  (yes /) 

Sinse I cant find these folders/files, I was just wondering I anybody has an idea? 

kindly
