Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Only allowing chmod 777 for file upload folder Post 302459091 by Mr.Canuck on Sunday 3rd of October 2010 03:40:39 PM

Here is how the "heiarchy" is: mysite.ca directory is chmod 715. When I click into that folder, the "docs" directory is chmod 755. When I click into that folder, all other directory folders in there are chmod 755, except for the "attachments" directory folder that I created (which is chmod 777 so that it works properly). Does this make sense?
