Typical chmod setting to a sites files and folders:#
chmod($Path, 02775);775 gives:
Owner (www-data usually) read+write+execute
Group read+write+execute
Others read+execute
The 2 means apply it going forwards to sub folders and files
The 0 is required to forcePHP to interpret the value a octal, otherwise it defaults to decimal which can sometime cause weird permissions to be set
USEFUL?
