to explain a little bit...


the "proper" ownership of files really depends on how your server is set up.
In some cases, php loaded files are owned by "nobody"
in other cases, it's the account owner...
in still other cases, it's the root and in yet others, it's whoever the apache owner is configures to...

So, it's hard to say what the "correct" setting for you would be.

thanks for the explantion! i think it was in the setup it wa smf there was promting me to set chomod 777 for xxx files


And -- if the files are "properly" owned, then 644/755 for chmod is sufficient - you should not need 777
