Linux permissions definitions

There are two types of general permissions and three types of advanced permissions you can specify for Linux shared hosting directories. Advanced permissions can be set for both directory users (website visitors) and owners (website administrators).

General Permissions

Web Visible

Executable
Permits the execution of scripts.

Advanced Permissions

Read
Permits anonymous viewing of directory content through a Web browser. If read permissions are not granted, FTP credentials must be provided to view directory content.
Write

Execute
Permits the execution of scripts.

You can use this information when changing your file permissions (Web & Classic / cPanel).
