On the Drupal website is suggested to use 755 as permissions for the “Files” folder.
However I sometimes had issues when uploading the website to a server with it, because the owner of the files was the ftp client and not drupal itself.
Consequently, I’ve asked to some people and I’ve been told that assigning 777 to “only” the files folder is reasonably safe.
Could you confirm this ?
Thanks
If you upload via FTP only occasionally, I would just change ownership of the files aftwerwards to the apache user. Anything uploaded via Drupal automatically has the the right permissions.
Whether 777 is reasonably safe depends on your hosting situation, I don’t want to speculate here. I would tend to err on the safe side and keep 755 (and change ownership of the files).
