I use hostgator for hosting my web sites, having run away from others
where their rules/standards were creative. Hostgator once responded that
755 for directories and 644 for files was in accordance with
apache/security rules (is there really a rule); regardless it works with
all my upload forms. Every now/then I have to ftp a folder or files
from another site, dadamail in that list and permissions are wrong, so I
use a simple 'find' to fix to correct permissions. I have it aliased in
my .login.
alias fixf 'find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;'
alias fixd 'find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;'
So I'm lazy...
