PostNuke

The original Idea was to set files R/W to websevrer and the FTP user, so the files will have the FTP Users username (from FTP aupload) and we set all files to the Webservers group and the chmod to 664, so the may be readable and writeable for both, webserver and user.

I am not sure if my permissions are chosen wise. A paranoid sysadmin would rather set files to 660 .




Here goes setpermission.sh
