I am unable to set permissions of files or folders to 0777 using the File Manager. It will only set them to 0775. I need to set permissions of a folder to 0777 to allow a script to have access. Is this a bug or does Network Solutions prohibit setting files to 0777?

777 permissions in a shared hosting environment are a significant security vulnerability as they allow write access to any user of the system. Many content management systems state that they require 777 permissions on certain files and directories to be able to write to files, however, in our environment, PHP and Perl are processed through CGI and are able to write to the hosting package they are being run from with permissions of 775.
I recommend using 775 instead of 777 for your files.
