Check this post by Mike… it explains in good details the assets permissions - http://www.yiiframew…dpost__p__58025

Having rights of 0777 doesn’t mean, someone from outside of your box can write to that directory.

BTW even though you often read that you "need 0777" on your assets folder, this is not quite correct. What you really need, is write access for your webserver process. "0777" includes this, as all users now have write access. In my setups i usually do a 0670 (r-xrwx—) and change the group ownership of assets/ to that of the webserver.

Of corse no, what problem there can be?

Simply the webserver will be allowed to write the assets in the proper directory.

If you are afraid of "hacking etc", take a look at this section of the guide.

Thanks for quoting me

But there’s still a little typo (my bad): It should be 0570 instead of 0670.

@Mike

Would be a good idea to edit the first post… so that when someone finds that post it has the right value…

Done.
