You would find the information you need here

http://www.prestashop.com/wiki/Installing_And_Updating_PrestaShop_Software/

While you have your FTP connected to your Web hosting server, make sure the following PrestaShop folders have ‘write’ permissions (also known as “CHMOD 777” – explanation of file permissions here) but do not apply these permissions recursively (to their subfolders): /config, /upload, /download, /tools/smarty/compile. Then make sure the following folders have ‘write’ permissions and apply these permissions recursively (to their subfolders): /img, /mails, /modules, /themes/prestashop/lang, /translations

The documented instructions certainly don't reflect Best Practices.
On some webhosts, server will refuse to execute any script/file within a directory set to CHMOD 777.

IMO, any script which can't operate @755 should be "refactored" ...to the curb.

I agree. The documented instructions only reference CHMOD to folders and subfolders. No script/files CHMOD changes are suggested.
