Teach me to setup FTP user using Putty & enable mod_rewrite

I have a site where I have root access, but don't know how to use putty/apache very well. I want someone to show me how to do two tasks by using teamviewer on my machine. This bid is for one hour only, if the project takes more than 1 hour I will need to hire you for a new project. The two things I want to do are: 1. enable mod_rewrite on the server. I installed this test script which shows that it is not running: [login to view URL] 2. configure ftp user to have access to a directory. I have set up a ftp user, but when I log onto the server using filezilla I can only browse the first two directories and am unable to see the actual files of my site. Please let me know if there are any questions.
