Directory Permissions on Upload

[SKiTLz]

Ok heres my problem.

My files are uploaded under my username. The permissions show syncon:syncon on all files. I give write access to Owner and Group.

Now when I use install scripts such as Joomla it says directory isnt writable. Should a directory have to be writeable by "Other"?

Hopefully this makes sense. I didnt do a great job of explaning.

Thanks

Yes it must have write permissions given to the web server. Most people simply chmod the directory 777 so that anyone can write to it.

You can also chown the directory username:webserver then chmod it 775.
