What is the ideal directory permission?

How do I give permission to a folder and subfolders?

1. Use chmod -R 755 /opt/lampp/htdocs if you want to change permissions of all files and directories at once.
2. Use find /opt/lampp/htdocs -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; if the number of files you are using is very large.
3. Use chmod 755 $(find /path/to/base/dir -type d) otherwise.
4. Better to use the first one in any situation.

What are the recommended directory permissions for PHP?

Specifically default/files/ (also sub directories?), settings.php, .htaccess and anything else I should be aware of. Your web server should be able to read all of the files but not write to them. If your site involves uploading files then give the server permission to write to that one folder only.

Is the settings.php file writable from Drupal?

This scenario applies also to the case where those files are created using SSH. The settings.php file must be writable from the Drupal installer, but once the installation is done it is suggested to make it read-only (the installer suggest that, and Drupal will periodically check if the file is really read-only).

What should the permission be for this file?

In the scenario I am describing, the permission of this file should at least be 644. The .htaccess files (which are present in at least two places) should have the permission 644.
