If you are one of the users who don\u2019t fully understand this term, here is a helpful guide to explain file and folder permission, as well as the ways to set them. [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"qodef-h4\">Explaining File and Folder Permissions<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]File and folder permissions represent the level of privileges a WordPress user can have when managing a file or folder. When properly set, they help your WordPress site run smoothly and act as a security feature by preventing unauthorized access, edits or other actions concerning your files and folders. However, when done incorrectly, it can lead to security breaches or errors that may harm your site. These errors include image upload errors, 403 Forbidden error, white screens and many more. [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]In short, permissions help the server determine which users have the ability to <strong>read<\/strong>, <strong>write<\/strong> or <strong>execute<\/strong> files or folders. More precisely, <strong>file permissions include the ability of viewing, editing and running the file as a script, respectively. Folder permissions include viewing the content, adding or removing the files or performing some other actions on the folder<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Each listed action (read, write and execute) has a corresponding number. Not being able to do any of these actions also has a correspondent number. The numbers in question are:[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;23px&#8221;]<ul class=\"qodef-unordered-list-item \">\n    <li>\n\t        <div class=\"qodef-ul-title-holder\">\n            <span class=\"qodef-ul-title-content\">4 \u2013 Read<\/span>        <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n<\/ul><ul class=\"qodef-unordered-list-item \">\n    <li>\n\t        <div class=\"qodef-ul-title-holder\">\n            <span class=\"qodef-ul-title-content\">2 \u2013 Write<\/span>        <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n<\/ul><ul class=\"qodef-unordered-list-item \">\n    <li>\n\t        <div class=\"qodef-ul-title-holder\">\n            <span class=\"qodef-ul-title-content\">1 \u2013 Execute<\/span>        <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n<\/ul><ul class=\"qodef-unordered-list-item \">\n    <li>\n\t        <div class=\"qodef-ul-title-holder\">\n            <span class=\"qodef-ul-title-content\">0 \u2013 No access<\/span>        <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n<\/ul>[vc_column_text]Permissions given to users are computed as a sum of these 4 numbers.

They are represented with <strong>three-digit numbers. The first digit determines what the (owner) user can do, the second is for the group, while the third tells what the rest (i.e. the world) can do. <\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Example:[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Setting a file\u2019s permission to 640 means that the user can read and write\/edit the file, the group can only read it, while the world has no access to it.
