Gecko — Drwxrxrx

: If your Gecko app serves static files, the directory containing them typically needs drwxr-xr-x permissions so the public can "read" the files, while only your deployment user can "write" (modify) them.

If you need to change a directory's permissions to this specific state, use the chmod command in your terminal: : chmod 755 /path/to/gecko-app gecko drwxrxrx
