What are file permissions and what should mine be?

Quick answerBeginnerUpdated

Short answer

Permissions decide who can read, write or run a file. On shared hosting, folders should be 755 and files 644. Never set anything to 777 — it allows the whole server to write to the file and is a genuine security risk.

This is a general web-hosting explanation, not specific to Traxio.
