777 Permissions

[BillyS]

I just noticed that in this directory

My Files > domains > domain.com > awstats

There is one file with 777 permissions (index.html)

And if I look in

My Files > domains > domain.com > awstats > .data

awstats.www.domain.com.conf also has 777 permissions

I realize they are not in the public_html directory, but are these okay to leave as 777 or should I change them to something like 644?

You are probably looking via the filemanager instead of via SSH correct?

When you look via SSH, looks like this:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root    root      31 2019-09-15 00:11 icon -> /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/icon
lrwxrwxrwx 1 username username   32 2021-11-12 00:12 index.html -> awstats.www.domain.com.2111.html
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root    root      39 2019-09-15 00:11 lang -> /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/lang
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root    root      38 2019-09-15 00:11 lib -> /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/lib
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root    root      42 2019-09-15 00:11 plugins -> /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/plugins

As you can see they are all symlinks. Same with the awstats.www.domain.com.conf which is a symlink to the awstats.domain.com.conf (without www) file which has 644 permissions.

So since they are symlinks, leaven them as they are, it's not really 777 with symlinks.

I just looked via SSH and you're exactly right, thank you! (I'll check next time before asking)
