So I purchased cloud hosting but we are going to move to that in about two weeks. In the meantime I upgraded our self hosting plan to 4.7.9. Then I tried to upload the latest files again manually to install commerce on self hosting to test it out.

Unfortunately that upload failed and the forums have been down for a few hours. On what will be one of the busiest days of the year. Ugh, anyhow it looks like admin \ upload files are failing when I try to upload them.

Does anyone know what the permissions of that folder should be?  I want to chmod them.  

Any other ideas on why it won't let me FTP to that directory?  Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Nevermind, it was a rights issue. CHMOD to change upload and everything FTPed. All set now.

Glad to hear you got that sorted. Are you online now?
