    Hi guys,

    I am almost finished setting up my FTP settings. But i have a problem. When i create an account in WHM the directory permissions are set to "542 543"how can i set this to 755? and to files like 644?

    Because some sites wont work with these permissions. So instead of having to change it manually how can i fix this?

    Thanks in advance!

    Currently using: proFTPD

    You can correct the permission automatically for files using the command

    - removed -

    Make sure to tun it inside the folder public_html after ssh into the server

    - - - Updated - - -

    To fix the permission of folders you can use

    - removed -

    Make sure to run it inside /home/username/public_html/

    Hi sir!

    Thank you very much as always you are helpful. I only need to ask you how i can set this to GLOBAL settings? so for each account which s created that will have this permissions 755 and 644?

    It should be global by default. You just have to correct permission for existing wrong files and folders
