Viewing File Permissions

Permissions for each file is listed on the right side of the screen.

Note that certain file types and folders need to be set to particular permissions. For example,

• Public_html – 750
• Folders – 755
• CGI and Perl scripts – 755
• .html .php and other document types – 644

Also, make sure you’re not allowing more access to your files than is necessary, as doing so will leave your website vulnerable.
