Image permissions 777 when uploading

[thinkingforward]

Is there a way of them being set to 644 or 755 when uploading from within admin, rather than having to manually change the permissions each time?

 

Thank you

Why do you have to change the permissions? My images folder is at 755 and I can upload any images, I mean product images

From what I have read on these forums, that is a server setting. My sites used to be that way and I just put up with it. Then one day I did not have to change permissions to upload anymore. I assume something on my server was updated or changed. I never asked because it did not seem too important at the time.

Is it a security risk, having images uploading as 777?

[spooks]

for images uploaded through admin the default setting is done in the admin/includes/classes/upload class

 

find the line:

 

function upload($file = '', $destination = '', $permissions = '777', $extensions = '') {

 

adjust that to suit your server.

If you must change the folder permissions to 777 in order to upload, then be VERY sure you change it back to 775 when you are done. If you leave the folder at 777 all the time, you will be hacked.
