Hi,

When use the file manager to upload images etc, it places them in my server in the /files/ folder in certain subdirectories, this subdirectories should have 777 permissions so everyone can view them, however they don't automatically. This means I get no thumbnails, that the images don't show up in the site and that I can't edit them.

When I use my ftp client and login to my website and change the permissions so everything is 777, they all suddenly work. This is fine if I was running the site, but my client isn't going to want to have to login and change the permissions everytime.

Can anyone advise on why this is happening? and how I can fix this?

thanks
