File Permissions On Shared Host

Jan 3, 2007

I recently opened a shared hosting account with a new host.

Can someone advise on file/folder permissions I can set which will keep my shared host neighbors out?

While accessing my account via FTP I noticed I could freely view and download files from other users folders - their PHP, HTML, images, you name it!

I would like to be more private with my files which include PHP scripts, images, etc.

I already contacted the help desk with my host and the tech said shared access between accounts is normal (even FTP) and if I restricted permissions then my PHP wouldn't work for Internet users.

I'm not buying it. I should be able to set the permissions such that Internet users can execute the PHP and view images, without my account neighbors using FTP to download my files.

Plesk 12.x / Windows :: STOP Resetting File Permissions On DLL File?

Sep 17, 2014

How can we stop Plesk resetting the file permissions on a dll file that is found in

C:Program Files (x86)

??

Specifically,

we have a file, jmail.dll,

here

C:Program Files (x86)Dimacw3JMail

By default Plesk permissions are set to DENY for PSACLN.

But the JMail plugin cannot work with these permissions !

We change this to be ALLOW for READ & EXECUTE and DENY for WRITE.

And everything works fine.

But every time Plesk does an update it reverts it back !

This means that a number of our customers contact forms stop working !

File Permissions

Dec 29, 2007

my question is relating to a "DJ Panel" that I am making. I am looking into various file permissions and was wondering if all PHP files that are part of the DJ Panel have file permissions of 0666 will that pose any kind of security threat (make life easier for hackers) or do you see any downside to doing this?

FTP + File Permissions For Client

May 24, 2009

I have set up a ftp server for my clients to upload files.

I have setup 2 users, client and administrator.

When a client logs he uploads his files to a folder called upload_files.

But he cannot view files in that folder.

If I log in as administrator I can see all the files and folders.

But I can only delete files uploaded to the upload_files folder.

If the client uploads a folder with files into it, then I cannot delete it since the folder owner is client.

Ex:
/upload_files/image.jpg Can Delete
/upload_files/new_folder/image.jpg Can't Delete

File Permissions In Windows

May 15, 2009

I'm transferring websites from Linux to Windows.

My scrips are writing uploaded photos to the server's hard disk drive. In Linux, I've set up right permissions to the folder: allow write files, php user as the owner of the folder.

After I've transferred everything to Windows Server 2008 server, I've removed "read only" atribute from folders and files, but PHP scripts still can't write new files or change old files.

I wonder what should I do to fix it? Set PHP user as the owner (as in Linux)? If yes, how can I do it?

Php.ini And .htaccess File Permissions

Aug 17, 2008

I'm on a shared FreeBSD server, running Apache with Drupal, and vBulletin.

I had to create a local php.ini file in my public_html folder for Drupal, and another in my forum folder for vBulletin. Now my question is, what should I set the permissions of these files to? Also, what should I set .htaccess permissions to as well?

I'd like to keep them invisible to the public. But, I don't want any problems with Drupal, or vBulletin ether.

I'm used to using Linux and I know how permissions work on a desktop. I just don't know what they do when used on a server. I'm guessing 640, but I'd like to make sure before I change anything.

PHP Permissions (file Owner)

Nov 24, 2008

I have setup an ftp user which can upload files to /home/ftp/upload and obviously it assigns the ftp user as the owner when it uploads. Now, I want PHP to be able to rename those files, but getting a permission denied, presumably because apache aint the owner or doesnt have permission to do that, so how do I grant it the right permission(s)?

CGI Security And File Permissions

Apr 24, 2007

I am planning to use CGI for my web installations and there appears to be a whole lot of conflicting info about setting file permissions in the user's folder.

What are the permissions actually required for reading and writing into the web users directory?

A lot of them say 755, but that doesn't make sense as it gives any user read and write permissions to the whole web directory tree.

Other than the initial index .php, .cgi or some other files that need to be ready by the webserver process shouldn't every other file be 700 or 600 as every subsequent file access is done under the control of the cgi program?

Unless a file is to be served directly by the web server process and is not in a ScriptAlias directory or is not marked as a CGI shouldn't the permissions on that file be 600 or 700?

I'd also like to know if there are some guides as to how the CGI security issues operate.

Folder - File Permissions

Oct 28, 2007

Server:
Centos 4.5/cPanel v11/php5 - SSH

Maybe someone can set me straight on this. I have always been under the impression, that under normal circumstances, permissions should usually be as follows:

userdir - 711
public_html - 750
folders - 755
files - 644

I am doing some work on a server and when I create a new folder (using WinSCP) it defaults the folder permissions to 775 and file permissions to 664. Besides causing possible problems with the applications I'm installing, isn't this a bit of a security risk?

Also, if I upload a tar and untar on the server it sets the same 775/664 permissions.

File Manager And WordPress Permissions

Nov 27, 2008

I just purchased my first hosting package in 10 years. Things have changed quite a bit and I'm unsure about some of the permissions settings. My new account is with Host Gator.

I could really use some help.

I'm going to use WordPress for the first time. I'd like to harden down my Linux server on Host Gator as much as possible. I'd also like to harden the WordPress permissions as much as possible.

I've read a fair amount about and have a little experience in setting read, write, and execute permissions plus some other security experience. My main concerns are to strike the balance between hardening down enough without making it so WordPress can't access whatever it needs to access.

I also have "Hot Linking" to consider. Not sure if that will make it difficult for WordPress to do it's thing.

Did I say that clearly enough?

How To Change Permissions Of A Read Only File System

Jun 21, 2008

I have a dedicated server and till few days back i was able to edit my files fine but this morning when i am trying to edit any file, it gives me back this error:

[user@domainname theme]$ chmod 777 header.php
chmod: changing permissions of `header.php': Read-only file system
[user@domainname theme]$

[root@domainname theme]$ chmod 777 directoryy
chmod: changing permissions of `directoryy': Read-only file system
[root@domainname theme]$

I tried both as normal user and root and same results. Do you think the hosting guys changed the permissions of the file system or something?

Getting Errors Due To File Permissions. What Config Is Required

Aug 11, 2007

I have placed a Content Management System on an Apache server using Cpanel and when I try to install I get messages about folders and files needing permission changes, then after installation some modules won't work because of wrong permissions. The solution to make everything work is to set all folders and files to 0777 but then that would just open up to insecurity. Also I can't set files to 0444 using an FTP client. It can only be done via Cpanel's file manager.

I install the same CMS on another hosting service with the same Apache/Cpanel config and it does not require any CHMOD. The app installs without errors and functions correctly with folders at 0755 and files at 0644.

It seems most shared hosting nowadays work as the latter statement so what could be the cause why the other hosting server require all the permission changes?

File And Directory Permissions Is Driving Me Crazy

Sep 9, 2007

Until recently i had never used a Linux server, as i used to have a windows server. I now have a Linux VPS

I am now at my wits end with file permission problems

I use Joomla a lot for my websites, and i also develop and program many modules and components for it, but at the moment every time i upload a module (which is a zip file with php files that is put onto the server in the right place via php) it sets the ownership to "nobody" rather than the username so i cant access it via ftp, as it says you don't have permission or the file may not exist.

Is there anyway the server can be set so it will by default set the file to have an owner name that will allow ftp access to it without me having to learn SSH Putty (which is all i have done today) or contacting my hosting company every time?

I am spending more of my time with these permission problems than doing my work, it driving me barmy!

Plesk 11.x / Linux :: FTP And File Permissions Are Incorrect?

Jun 4, 2014

Whenever I setup a new FTP user in Plesk and then configure my FTP client with exactly the same username and password and transfer files and folders onto the server then the file permissions allocated are incorrect. Folders get allocated a permission of 700 and files a permission of 600, whereas I want all folders to have a permission of 755 and files a permission of 644. How can I change my setup so that files and folders get the permissions I want ?

Plesk 11.x / Linux :: FTP - Wrong Folder And File Permissions

Nov 15, 2013

I have a problem where every folder I ftp onto the server gets given a 700 permission and every file gets a Zero permission. Most of the sites I am adding to this server will be WordPress sites and most of the folders I want to have a permission of 755 and for the files a permission of 644 so my question is how do I change the settings so that any new files ftp'd onto the server get the permission 755 and files get the permission of 644 ?

Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Folder Permissions / Joomla Installer - Could Not Copy Setup File

Mar 17, 2015

Ok, new to Plesk, trying to move from ispconfig. So I have Plesk 12 running on Centos 6 64bit in a VPS. I figured out how to upgrade PHP and now I have installed my first website. The website is joomla based but I am getting the below error when installing components:

Warning
Copy failed.

JInstaller: :Install: Failed to copy file /var/www/vhosts/virtual-sim-racing.com/httpdocs/home/tmp/install_55081e65af5fe/pkg_kunena.xml to /var/www/vhosts/virtual-sim-racing.com/httpdocs/home/administrator/manifests/packages/pkg_kunena.xml

Package Install: Could not copy setup file.

This suggest to me a permissions issue - but what to do with it. I have checked all of the relevant Joomla folder permissions and they are all showing as writeable, so it looks like something outside of that?

I don't want to have to stick with ispconfig much longer ...

Shared File Space For All Web Servers

Mar 3, 2008

Is it normal practice to have shared filespace that multiple web servers can access? Then I just provide my developers access to that filespace (one server, instead of multiple users on multiple servers) to manage files for different sites easily... right? (also meaning multiple servers can serve the same content)

So.. what would be the best way to do this? We're talking Linux systems here by the way. What sort of specs would such a server need?

I *think* it's NAS that I'm trying to get at.. unsure though if that's correct or not!

Should Shared Hosting Be Allowed File Storage

Oct 26, 2008

For those host which are not overselling, they have obviously the space for file storage. But should they allow file storage on their shared hosting account, if they aren't overselling, and the files are legal?

Well, this can also be counted as a survey I need

It would be best if you provide a reason if your vote is no.

How To Pick A Shared Host

Apr 1, 2009

I've used two different shared hosts in the past. First host had little to no support and got slower and slower as time went on. Second host, has been fine for my personal blog and portfolio site, but the load time is way slow at certain times of the day.

How in the world do you find a shared host that is actually going to be fast? I know you don't want a host that is over-selling, but how do you know a host is overselling? I assume any host that is less than $10/mo and has unlimited everything is going to be oversold, but how do you find one that is going to be responsive. Trial and Error? I've been trying to read the reviews on sitepoint, but I feel like a lot of the time the reviewer is unaware of site load times.

I don't mind doing the research myself, but I can't figure out where to look or how to look.

All I want from my host is fast load times, all the time. I don't have huge traffic, I do have a lot of files, and it's very important when someone comes to my site it loads as fast as possible.

Obviously cheaper is nicer, but I don't mind spending a little extra to have a server that loads fast.

Recommend A Shared Host

Feb 11, 2009

Does anyone have any recommendations for a GOOD shared/reseller host? Geekstorage has had good reviews here, but I've been sorely disappointed in the frequent downtime I've had on two separate servers. Looking to move elsewhere soon if I can find someone else.
So -

Price isn't really an issue. I need at least 20GB of storage. Bandwidth also not an issue.

Shared Host For My Fansite

Oct 8, 2009

I had a fansite on Dreamhost but they wont host us anymore. Probably my fault but i didnt see putting pictures in a zip wrong, since uploading pictures to my gallery singley can be tedious.

Anyway i now have myqsl backups for wordpress and coppermine. The coppermine gallery has around 15,000 images. Its a fairly new site which got 200 uniques roughly a day.

I need a cheap shared host, since i have 2 servers already (but my friend is unable to tell me the details due to health) So im looking for a cheap shared host, that i will pay a yearly sum. I also need this host to restore my fansite since i have no clue what to do with these backups. So my rough budget is 1-3 dollars per month. I have looked around on

Last night i got messed around by ServerRhino - i wont post again what happened but basically i paid for a year package, waited as long as i could before i had to go to bed for the ftp login, i wake up to find ive been refunded with no explaination. All this has made me very angry as i thought il wake up today and have my site back.

The main thing im looking in the host is good support and cheap enough. I also may want to host a second site on it in the future.
