markifornia Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 This is focused on the information int he gray box ion page 307 - Secure Folder Permissions. As I understand it. (A.) /Users/username/uploads - more secure (B.) /Users/username/sitename/uploads - less secure Question: Where is the web directory, /sitename/ ? If this is so, and 777 (or 755) permissions is set on it, then (B.) and all the files inside of this directory are exec, read, writeable and susceptible to malicious users. Would (A.) then be the accurate example of placing the uploads folder in a secure area of the server? I am using linux: Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 PHP Version 5.2.17 Thanks, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 If I understand what you're describing, then yes, A would be more secure. Also, keep in mind that "all users" means all users on the server. Not every user in the universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
