I went to back up my threads in order to upgrade and I found that I couldn't back-up the contents of the gallery folder.
What permissions are the folders within the galery folder set to?
This hasn't happened to me previously, but I need to know in order to tell my host (who thinks it's threads fault).

The folders should be set to 777, fully writable. Files within are created by the webserver, so could be 644, 664 or 666.

Thanks Gents The full/medium/thumbs directories are 767. User = 81 Group = blank (Is this odd?)

So here is the story so far... I can't backup the 'numerical' directories of the gallery. I can't get inside the folders to see what's there. (Insufficient Permissions???) This is what I told my host I can't delete them. I can't change permissions on them. I can't download them to back them up.
I'm stuck. This is how they responded... The gallery package should be able to delete them as it was the software that created them, the permissions can't be changed except via the web based software and a backup would have to be over the web rather than ftp.
If you change the permissions to make them world readable via the web then they'll be downloadable via ftp. Help

They would have to chown the files to your user:group...
Though I do say we need a way to purge such files from the cp...

ok, thanks. But is this normal?
I haven't had problems backing up Threads previously.
Is there a way/script that could be run to change ownership from within threads so that I don't have to get my host to do it everytime I need to backup?

Right now, there isn't anything built in. This is something that we should get into the control panel when we give it an update however.

I vote that we put several management options... CHMod, Archive, Prune

Seems like a good idea to me (given my current circumstances. )
