When you use the "X3 installer", it's PHP that downloads and installs files and folders. Therefore, permissions should be correct for X3 (PHP) to operate within it's own files and folders. If you upload manually, files would belong to ROOT, whereas PHP is trying to modify and edit folders, causing a mismatch of users and permissions.

I know I can do it via ftp and override that problem but I know you have mentioned this before that you need to change that settings in the php file somewhere. Can you point me on that location? In the meantime I will search around again.
This would be your php.ini
upload_max_filesize option. I don't really know where your php.ini is, it depends on server and PHP installation. It shouldn't be too hard to find, as even your own phpinfo() (available in X3 panel) will show paths to php.ini files used. After changing, you would need to restart server (or at least restart PH).
