That may be true for you english centric people 
, but other languages may not differentiate between "directory" and "folder".
In Portuguese, you can either use "directoria" (directory), "pasta" (folder), "directório" (directory if you want to be technically precise). There is no distinction between folder and directory for a portuguese user, it all translates to a word that has the same meaning. Most users don't really know if there is any difference. Also, I always learn the word "directory", even on Windows™ systems, so I guess it's not something that simple and may depend on your background.
I would change the warning to something different, instead of suggesting a permission scheme of 777, which is not a very good advice, the warning should simply indicate that the server can't write to those folders. The user should use whatever method he has to correct the problem, either using chmod, a GUI or anything else.
And preferably not using 777 on any file or folder (insert directory if you wish ).

Rejoice! For very bad things are about to happen.
