Changing permission with plesk

Server Config
1

The plesk server I am using right now does not allow this script to create/copy file without changing the folder permission to 0777. Unlike cPanel which could get the job done by sticking to 0755. I am a little bit concerned to use 0777 as it could pose a security risk. Any ideas to get it done? Thanks


                $file_1 = "newfile.txt";
		$file_2 = "newfile_2.txt";
		
		$fp = fopen($file_1, "w+");
		if($fp) {
			copy($file_1, $file_2);
		}

  1. Get back on a Linux server with cPanel

  2. Change to 0777 but password protect access to the directory these files are located in. Plesk will allow you to do that, won’t it?

Option 2 could work, but my script in my localhost use cURL to syncronize data with my host and it might not working with password protected dir :frowning: Isn’t there any way to configure plesk to allow owner to create/copy and delete files within it’s on server?

David,

I’m afraid that it’s been too long for me since I last used Plesk. However, I’d recommend:

  1. Attempting to find a “File Manager” within Plesk and looking for attribute settings there

while

  1. Searching the Plesk.com website (http://www.parallels.com/products/plesk/) and view the File Manager tutorial (where you can see that the file attributes are a link - presumably to an attribute editor)

before

  1. Contacting your host for more information about Plesk.

Regards,

DK
