File Permissions: Who are the user, group, and others on my web server? What perms should i use for uploaded files, php files, etc.?

  • 772

I am using cPanel with apache 2 and php 5.2. I have a file upload script, which currently puts the uploaded files in a directory with 0777 perms and the file itself also has 0777 perms. this is because with other perms, i would be thrown an "Invalid Access" error.

so, what perms should i use so that the files are secure, but can still be accessed when a user wants to download them via my download script?

apache-2.2 upload php5 file-permissions

    Are you the SysAdmin of this server?

    If you are then I have just answered a very similar question here

    Apache DSO file permissions 777

    If not you need to question if you're happy to have you site on this server at all.
