Keep an eye on our next release. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/file-upload-permission#post-19618 Tue, 01 Mar 2011 05:03:27 +0000 MellyVille 19618@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Carl,</p> <p>I managed to solve this myself by changing:</p> <pre><code>if(move_uploaded_file($file[&#39;tmp_name&#39;], $target[&quot;path&quot;])){ return $target[&quot;url&quot;]; }</code></pre> <p>to:</p> <pre><code>if(move_uploaded_file($file[&#39;tmp_name&#39;], $target[&quot;path&quot;])){ chmod( $target[&quot;path&quot;] , 0644 ); return $target[&quot;url&quot;]; }</code></pre> <p>Otherwise it wouldn't be solvable in my case, although every server setting is set right.

If the owner is setup to use 644 then file uploads from Gravity Forms should be using 644 also. Gravity Forms is not setting the file permissions, it's leaving it up to the server to set the file permissions. The server should be using the default file permissions for the owner, which should be 644. Your server obviously isn't setup for the default owner of file uploads to use 644 which is why they are storing as 600. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/file-upload-permission#post-18215 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 13:33:25 +0000 MellyVille 18215@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Carl,</p> <p>Thanks for the response. It has not been working before. I am using this on a newly developed site and the other sites i've used the plugin on, doesn't use the file upload. This is my first use and it has not ever worked for me.</p> <p>I am aware of the owner setup, and this is correct every time. That's why it must be in the script somewhere.</p> <p>I would be glad if you could come up with a solution to write the files with the right permission.</p> <p>Thanks!<br /> Melvin </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/file-upload-permission#post-18213 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 13:27:21 +0000 Carl Hancock 18213@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>We are aware it's possible to set the file permission with PHP, however it's not typically needed. This is the first time this issue has come up. Default file permissions are set based on the owner of the files, and typically this default 'owner' has the correct file permissions assigned to them (644). </p> <p>If this was working before, and now it is not it means something changed with your web host. Your web host has changed the defaults. The script hasn't changed, your web host changed something on their end.</p> <p>For example if your web server is running apache then by default file uploads would be 'owned' by apache and receive apache's default file permissions. Typically this is 644.</p> <p>So this has to do with the settings your host has on the user that owns files that are uploaded by default. They had to have changed something for this issue to start happening. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/file-upload-permission#post-18183 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 08:22:17 +0000 MellyVille 18183@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello, anyone that can help?

You will need to talk to your hosting folks and ask them to change the default permissions for the wp-content/uploads folder. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/file-upload-permission#post-17295 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 06:07:30 +0000 MellyVille 17295@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>File upload is working great, it's just that files are placed on the server with 600 permission, while i need them to be 644 in order for me to download the files directly from the link that's mailed to me.</p> <p>Where can i set GF to use 644 instead of 600?</p> <p>Thanks in advance </p>
