[TYPO3-dev] TYPO3 and default filesystem rights

[Robert Wildling]

Hi,

I work on my local developing enviroment (MAMP) and otherwise mostly on 
allinkl, definately on some Unix enviroment, I never had to do anything 
with TYPO3 on IIS (Windows). Usually, all the needed permissions are 
either 755 and 777 for folders, never anything else.

TYPO3 ships with a standard of 755 for all folders. Subsequently the 
respective folder permissions have to be changed to 777. I guess I am 
not the only one ...

The question I have is, what is the reason why TYPO3 won't ship with the 
required 777-permission?

This is not meant in anyway as a critique or so. The question came up 
when checking the CMS Pimcore, which after download and unpack already 
has the required permissions applied.

I just would like to understand.

Thank you!
Robert
