Change (Group, World)Write Permissions for A Folder

[cachex12]

Hey, I am a computer science student and I am building a website for a class project. It is a small simple social media application and I need to change permissions for the following folder: public_html/usrdata/photos to allow users to upload a photo. I tried to change the permissions using Cpanel but it keeps changing it back to 755. Can I ask how can I do change the permissions permanently for this folder. Thanks in Advance!

That's probably a security setting/feature because it's free, shared hosting.

Max permissions are 755 for directories and 644 for files. However, on an upload, it's your code that's doing the writing, not the user, so 755 isn't a problem.
