Below are a few typical permission settings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>public_html<\/strong> \u2013 750<br><strong>Folders<\/strong> \u2013 755<br><strong>CGI and Perl scripts<\/strong> \u2013 755<br><strong>.html .php and other Document Types<\/strong> \u2013 644<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"incorrect\">Incorrect File Permissions?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Incorrect file permissions can cause errors or, even worse, allow unauthorized users to hack your site. Once an unauthorized user gains access, they can further alter more of your file permissions to make a site even more vulnerable. Remember that 777 permissions mean that your file is readable, writable, and executable by anyone who can access it. On a file live and online, that means nearly anyone in the world with web access!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>777 permissions are not common. It is a rare situation where a file needs to be written and executed by anyone in the world. If you find files or folders with permissions that do not match the default permissions, it\u2019s usually best to change them to <a aria-label=\"cPanel's recommended permissions (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/support.cpanel.net\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360050418594-What-are-the-default-file-permissions-for-public-html\" target=\"_blank\">cPanel\u2019s recommended permissions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"change\">How to Change File Permissions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"article_list wp-block-list\">\n<li>In the File Manager select the file you want to change the permissions for, then <em>either<\/em> click the <strong>Permissions<\/strong> link on the top(<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"93\" height=\"28\" class=\"wp-image-64247\" style=\"width: 93px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/permissionsButton.jpg\" alt=\"The Permissions button in cPanel's file manager.\">) <em>or<\/em> <strong>right-click<\/strong> and select <strong>Change Permissions<\/strong> from the dropdown list.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This will bring up the <em>Change Permissions<\/em> window.
