I am having a irritating problem concerning the permissions of files created by WordPress.
When i download plugins using wordpress or uploading images, and even when a php script creates a dir/files it puts the permissions of this folder into a different user/group.
My user does has no access to this file/folder under my own ftp account.
Is there a way to change files/folders ownership created by apache/php/wordpress to my user ?
If you are using Ubuntu (I don’t know if int other distros the files are in the same location) you can edit the file envvars located in /etc/apache2 and restart Apache.
If you can use ACL this is a better solution than changing the user for Apache, more info: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissionsACLs
