Change file permissions from cPanel


First in our Control Panel we will go to the Files section and we must enter File Manager.

A window similar to the one in the following image will appear where we must select Web Root (public_html / www) and select the "GO" button at the bottom to enter.

Within the File Manager we must identify the folders and files to which we must modify the permissions we want.

We must put our cursor on the right side on the permission of the file or folder that we want to modify and write the desired permission, when doing so select "SAVE" to save the changes

  • 755 - Folders
  • 644 - Archives
  • 777 - Indicates to the web server that these files have write, read and execute permissions. (It may be necessary only in case of installing an application, it is RECOMMENDED at the end of the installation to leave the permissions as they correspond)

With this, the permission will be modified as follows, where the folder has 755 and the file 644 as corresponds to each one.

Here is the meaning of each character in the permissions (Owner / Group / User):

0. You don't have any permission

1. Execute permission only

2. Write permission only

3. Write and execute permissions

4. Read permission only

5. Read and execute permissions

6. Read and write permissions

7. All permissions set, read, write and execute.
