Thread: permissions to upload content

permissions to upload content

Hi,

When a user uploads a CV to my sites, they get the below message:

ERROR: The uploaded file could not be moved to /var/www/vhosts/therecruitmentproject.com/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/sites/4. - See more at: http://therecruitmentproject.com/sub...ly_form_result

The permissions set on the folders was 775 and in order to upload content to the site it needed full permissions of 777. having full permissions is dangourous and leaves the website vulnerable to attack.

I have now removed the htaccess file as well as the phpinfo file and the site now allows users to upload content while permissions set at 775. However, this allows users to execute files. If i take away this permission, users can no longer upload content. Is there away to take away the execute permission while still letting users upload content?

thanks
