Default permissions in DATA, HOME and WEBROOT?

Hi all..

I wonder what the correct permissions would be in DATA, HOME and WEBROOT?

Right now i found some  folders set to guest:guest and 0777.

Is there a way to get all rights/permissions back to what it should be?

 

Scariest of all if i been hacked because i cannot remember setting those folders like that.

 

what do you think?

 

regards

    You can reset the file access separately for each volume. On the admin page in the top menu use option shares. Than for the concerned volume hover the mose over the corrsponding row to see the config wheel. Click that and select settings from the upcoming context menu. In the upcoming dialogue select tab "file access". To the right there is a list of options you can select. Reset is one of them.

     

    Kind regards
