Magento

Hi,

I’m working with a magento connect extension and the only way I can get the user image upload to work is by applying 777 to media/catalog/product + subdir’s. In this extension the CM defines the product. Is this the only way to do it? I’ve read allover that 777 is a security risk but in the case of this folder is it acceptable?

Thanks

Applying 777 is indeed a security risk. Please refer to the following article which recommends safer permissions on your files:
