Hi there one and all,
I hope someone who knows there (apache) chmod snizzle can help me out with two questions here;
1. If I set a file to chmod 777 in general webspace area, can anyone access and alter that file?. Or do they require some proper connection like through a ftp. My thinking is that someone could execute a php script on there own server that alters the chmod 777 files! - is this incorrect thinking?. (for the record, my webspace ftp wont let anon access!).
2. having the main .htaccess file as something other then chmod 644 - (namley 666) would that put it at risk of alteration, downloading or circumventing?
Thanks for your time.
PS) yes its for my website that now holds a dev diary of my current game - please come and visit :)
