To start with, this file is created with 644 permissions, but it isn’t safe to leave it like that. Some files and directories should be “hardened” with more strict permissions, in particular, the wp-config.php file. If you installed WordPress yourself, you probably WILL need to change WordPress file permissions permissions. It’s best not to alter his unless you’re having problems with permission errors, or you know what you’re doing. You probably won’t need to be changing file permissions if someone with experience installed WordPress for you. The file and folder permissions for WordPress will probably be the same for most users, depending on how you installed it and the umask settings of your system environment at the time of installation. If that’s the case, it would mean permissions are set more permissively than default (for example, 775 rather than 755 for folders, and 664 instead of 644). If WordPress is running as the FTP account, that account must have write access, meaning it must be the owner of the files, or be in a group that has write access. On shared hosts, files shouldn’t ever be owned by the webserver process itself (sometimes this is For instance, you might have a user account that lets you send files to your server via FTP, but the server itself may run under a separate user, in a separate usergroup, like dhapache or nobody. Usually, all files should be owned by your user (ftp) account on your web server and should be writable by that account. This guide is relevant to servers that run a standard setup (note, for shared hosting using “suexec” methods, see below). WordPress file permissions will vary between hosts, so we can only outline general principles here and can’t cover all scenarios.
