whm file permissions

2025-04-14

Hi,

In my cpanel file manager, in the 'public' folder, all the files and folders have permissions set at 644 or 755, which is by default and I was told that's proper.

But the 'public' folder is 750. Is that okay? Further, there's a bunch of other files and folders alongside 'public', and with permissions that aren't 644 or 755:

.spamassassin 700
.trash 700
mail 750
ftp 750
public 750
tmp 700
www 750
.contacemail 600
.lastlogin 600

These were like this when I got there. So should I leave these alone or what? (This site is purely text) Thanks!
