What file and directory permissions should I use?

Directories: 755 (rwxr-xr-x)
Files: 644 (rw-r--r--)
Configuration files: 600 (rw-------)

Correct file permissions are essential for both security and functionality.

Avoid using 777 permissions as this grants full access to all users, creating a serious security risk.
