I set the path for media uploads to wordpress’ upload path /wp-content/uploads/, and used ‘chmod apache.apache’ (or <myusername>.apache) for the this dir, which makes everything work fine.
While uploading, the webserver creates directories inside ‘uploads/’ with permissions ‘775’ (rwxrwxrx-) and files (e.g. uploaded media) with ‘664’ (rw-rw-r-), which is ok.Thank you for the fantastic foliopress WYSIWYG editor !

Hello Frank,
I’m not sure if your post title came properly into our site. Could you please tell us what problem do you have again?
Thank you for your interest in our plugin!

Hi Martin,
Yes, you’re right. My question was: what do the (default) values ‘777’ & ‘666’ under “Permissions” (in Advanced Options for Foliopress) refer to ? I.e. under which circumstances are they used and in what functions ?
As I described, I manually create & set the ownership for the directory used for uploads with Foliopress (in my case, it is the same as for wordpress: /wp-content/upload).
These settings allow the webserver (in my case, the ‘apache’ user) to create directories and write files below the upload-directory. The permissions chosen (775/664) are as safe as possible.
But “777” (for dirs) and “666” (for files) as they appear to me to be the defaults in “Permissions”, allowing the ‘world’ to do anything sound quite unsafe to me.
Best regards,
Frank
Hello Frank,
the default values should certainly be 755 and 644, so we will fix that. We are using 755/644 and PHP FastCGI, but there defaults should be safe.
These are used for new directories and files uploaded via the built-in image manager – SEO Images. As you noted, they might come handy in special setups like yours.
Thank you for letting us know about this.
Martin
