What is the CHMOD for a directory I want to save files under only

  • 0

What is the CHMOD for a directory I want to save files under only using a php – script on the same server. These files should only be readable using my ftp-software(i am admin) or the script.

Background is, I want to save backups of my mysql database there that are created using a php script and a cron-job. Nobody should have access to those but me.

Is it 770, 700, 600 or 660 or something different?

Do I need to set files under this directory with CHMOD aswell or are they not reachable once I set the rights of the upper directory?

    If you are running the script as the same user you use for FTP then you just need:

    chmod 700
    

    If you there are two user accounts then you need a common group membership in which case the permissions will be

    chmod 770
