Prestashop folders and owner, public and group permissions

[Tosk]

Hi folks,

Does the installaton step for Prestashop below relate just to owner permissions, or to the public and group permissions as well? It appears that group and public permissions are not set to write by default, but owner permissions are.

"While you have your FTP connected to your Web hosting server, make sure the following PrestaShop folders have ‘write’ permissions (also known as “CHMOD 777” – explanation of file permissions here) but do not apply these permissions recursively (to their subfolders): /config, /upload, /download, /tools/smarty/compile. Then make sure the following folders have ‘write’ permissions and apply these permissions recursively (to their subfolders): /img, /mails, /modules, /themes/prestashop/lang, /translations"

Thanks in advance

It's okay - I've just understood that each digit in the CHMOD relates to the owner, public and group permissions, as shown by the numeric value in the Filezilla attributes window.

Thanks for looking anyway...
