HI
I'm using a shared hosting solution and had a lot of problems with file permissions when I installed the fud software.
So to over come this I set every single file to chmod 777 *.*

Now I know that other users sharing my server can't make alterations to my files even though they are 777, as they can't get past my root directory.

I've password protected the main directory that contains the sub-directorys templates, includes, scripts etc
using an .htaccess file that says
Deny from all

Think I'm protected so far ... am I ?

Secondly
Now all my files under my main forum directory have full 777 permissions. This is probably not a good idea.
Can someone please tell me if I can recursively use chmod -R ??? *.*
from the main forum directory that my online users will use.
If so what should I use in place of ??? so all files are safe from pesky users, but not limiting the forum software.

Thanks in advance
Matt
