I just moved the contents of my site, including all the folders, from a shared hosting plan to a dedicated server, and I'm now getting a notice under status report that the "files" directory is not writable.

I logged in to CPanel and looked at "files" under File Manager and sure enough, the permissions are set to read, write, and execute for user. Read and execute are checked off for group and world.

Did I do something wrong, or have I missed an important step during the transfer?

The files folder needs to be 777 thus user group and world need read write
775 may work as well.
