Spartacus vs. permissions (Again. Doh.)

Apparently, I can only set the owner and permissions, but not the group for files and directories downloaded by the Spartacus plugin. Then again, I also want to be able to access the plugins/ directory and it's content via FTP.
Is it okay to set the permissions for directories in or below plugins/ to 0777 or does that impose some kind of security risk?

Hi!
It hink you should be able to use "user.group" in the chown mask.

That actually depends on who else is using your server and how exactly it's setup. It's not really safe, but it's usually the most convenient way.

Are you sure that's not user:group like on most Linux systems?

Hi!
Yeah, the linux chown/chmod command takes those values separated with ".".

No.
Code: Select all
SYNOPSIS
chown [OPTION]... [OWNER][:[GROUP]] FILE...
That's "man chown" on my Ubuntu system
Anyway, I'm simply gonna try that. Thanks.

No.
Even though the manpage says so, it works just fine with a "."

Wow. Linux hacking
Anyway, it doesn't really matter since the combination of my hoster's permission/FTP policy and Spartacus's needs doesn't seem to work well together
I'd like to have $WEBSERVER:$FTPUSER plus 0775 to use it properly, but apparently, that's just not possible. Well, maybe I need to re-think my ftp usage ...
