I checked the file and folder permission of /var/www/html/ using stat -c '%A %a %n' *
Folders : 775
Files: 664
drwxrwxr-x 775 includes
-rw-rw-r-- 664 index.php
-rw-rw-r-- 664 maintenance.html
drwxrwxr-x 775 phpmailer
drwxrwxr-x 775 recaptcha
-rw-rw-r-- 664 robots.txt
drwxrwxr-x 775 chosen
drwxrwxr-x 775 css
The permission of sub folders and files of folders copied into /var/www/html is also the same. For eg. permissions of /var/www/html/phpmailer is
-rw-rw-r-- 664 class.phpmaileroauthgoogle.php
-rw-rw-r-- 664 class.phpmaileroauth.php
-rw-rw-r-- 664 class.phpmailer.php
-rw-rw-r-- 664 class.pop3.php
-rw-rw-r-- 664 class.smtp.php
-rw-rw-r-- 664 composer.json
-rw-rw-r-- 664 composer.lock
drwxrwxr-x 775 examples
drwxrwxr-x 775 extras
-rw-rw-r-- 664 get_oauth_token.php
drwxrwxr-x 775 language
-rw-rw-r-- 664 LICENSE
-rw-rw-r-- 664 PHPMailerAutoload.php
-rw-rw-r-- 664 VERSION
Question 1: Why are the permissions defaulting to this?
Question 2: How can i rewrite all of this to Files:644 and Folder:755 ie. how can i change the permission of phpmailer folder to 755, its files to 644, change permission of its subfolders and its files to 755 and 644 respectively.
Question 3: How can i default the permissions to 644 for files and 755 for folders.
