Joomla Permissions Overview

Here's an excellent Joomla Permissions Overview I just had to share.

Joomla Permissions

For those with ssh access the best way to update your permissions is by logging into your server and going to your website's root directory (assuming that's your Joomla root directory).

Once your in the Joomla root directory (e.g with a cd /var/www command) issue the following commands:

find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

you can then add some of your own personal commands for added security.

chmod 444 configuration.php;
