I do know how to chmod with my ftp client. But the thing is that sometimes 777 is necessary. And sometimes scripts create directories which I cannot access. Which I cannot chmod in any way.

Say I have a gallery script. The script creates a dir /summertrip/
If I check the permissions in my ftp client (smartFTP) they are 0700.
The dir has user apache and group apache.
Permissions:

Code: Select all

User  Group  Others
X        -       - 
x        -       -
x        -       -
or: RWX --- ---
Nothing I can do about that. I can't even make a backup of the dir because I don't have the right permissions. Even from the control panel I cannot access the dir.

So is that a fault of the script or can it also be some setting in apache?

The scripts themselves can chmod and chown them.
