Topic: Our host is claiming that Direct Admin requires highly insecure 777 file permissions in order to work.
Case: Our host has recently moved from CPanel to Direct Admin, but claims it needs to set certain file permissions to the highly insecure 777 permissions in order for DA to work because they are running LiteSpeed servers.
Is what they are saying correct: that Direct Admin requires these highly insecure settings for LiteSpeed servers in order to work?
Eagerly awaiting an answer.
Details:
1- A shortcut with 777 permissions (named public_html) was made in the root folder (1), which links to the public_html folder of one of our domains, as in the domain folder (2), this folder in the domain folder itself only has 755 permission as in (3) [see second point]:

2- A shortcut with 777 permissions (named private_html) was made in the root folder of the domain (3), which links to the public_html folder of that same domain (2), this folder in the domain folder itself only has 755 permission as in (3):
