Title: Directory permissions
Post by: ironhead on October 18, 2005, 08:25:37 pm

I'd like to use CPG for an image gallery on my site, but I've got some concerns over setting any directories with 777 permissions, as I was burnt by this before (a hacker uploaded files directly in to the directory and was using as a file depot).  Is there a way around setting world writable directories?  I'd be happy with 755...

Are there any instructions on how to secure a CPG install?

Thanx!  :)

Sure, you can use 755 if your server supports it.
