I read that on EUKHost websites files with permission 777 are OK because the server has some sort of security mod that makes it safe (http://www.eukhost.com/support/knowl...gory/security/)

Can some from EUKHost confirm that files with permissions are OK set at 777 ?

I hope that this post will be useful to others because I have always found file permissions difficult to deal with because all web hosts seem to deal with them in different ways.

Thanks,

You should be fine with using 777 permissions on the scripts. If anyone does try to get through eUKhost have very tight mod_security rules which will stop them.
