How do you secure Joomla’s file permissions?

Answer: Here’s a breakdown of securing Joomla’s file permissions:

Short answer:

Configuration Files: Set sensitive files like `configuration.php` to 444 (read-only) for everyone.
Directories: Use 755 (owner: read/write/execute, others: read/execute) for most folders.
Key Files: Restrict permissions on files like `.htaccess`, `index.php` to 644 (owner: read/write, others: read).
Avoid 777: Never set permissions to 777 (full access for everyone), as it poses significant security risks.

Remember:

Backups: Always back up your site before making permission changes.
Specific Needs: These are general guidelines; specific situations might require adjustments.
