Terminal on your phone is probably the same thing, but just bring up WinSCP, Ctrl+T, copy and paste that line in, click execute, wait a lil bit, and done...

You don't need Terminal if you can sFTP your phone.

In CyberDuck, assuming it works like Transmit, get info on your app filder and set the permissions to 755. Do the same for the contents of the folder.
 
I just figured this out, so here I am to help!

Open up Terminal, and type "ssh root@your.phone.ip.address"
It will prompt for a password, then just paste the command you need to run into Terminal.
