access denied

[batorude]

Hello,
I have a problem. When I try to access my site at batorudesign.elementfx.com, I receive a "403 Forbidden" notification although I can access my site through winscp.Anyone knows what's the reason for this?

Best!

I logged into the server and took a peek; your permissions are seriously messed up. They are set to 777 on all files and folders which, with poorly coded scripts (and some well-coded ones) is a security risk - the server automatically throws a "403 Forbidden" in this instance.

You'll need to do a permissions change; folders should be at 755 and no higher, files at 644. This should resolve the 403 error, along with adding some extra security to the site. With 777 permissions, a wider range of scripting exploits/hacks become possible - we get enough of these on 755/644 as it is, so the server is set up to help protect itself by denying 777 as a valid permission set for now.

Thank you for the answer!
Everything is ok now. The initial configuration was exactly as you stated (755 for folders and 644 for files) but I began to receive this 403 warning after I tried to synchronize the remote project with the one on my localhost (for this I used Netbeans 7.2.1). I granted the 777 permission to files and folders afterwards in order to have complete access without taking into consideration any security reasons but the issue remained...

All the best!
