Re: chmod problem

[Bob McClure Jr <robertmcclure earthlink net>]

The folder (directory) permissions should be 755, but the files within
need only be 644.  Making them 755 makes them executable, which makes
no sense.  They need to be readable and writable by you (the 6) and
readable by everyone else (the 44).  Any subdirectories, however,
should be 755.

  it would automatiacally inherit the folders share property?
