The lower the permissions that work the better...though I'm not exactly a security expert. :mrgreen: I've seen way too many public scripts that are all, 'Hey, yeah just set every folder especially the root all to 777!' 8O I think something like 606 works though it's been a few months since I've had to mess around with file system permissions...mess around with it a bit and see how much you can minimize it before it no longer works.

Looking Forward for a security expert!!!
