As I understand it the
As I understand it the /files directory needs permissions of 777 so that the web server can write to it.
A probable alternative is to change the user/group ownership of /files to whatever user/group the web server runs as, then use permissions like 755 or 775, but that will be difficult or cause difficulties on shared hosting.
