Issue Summary
Audit File is a great module for the file permission problem I had. However, not supporting D6.x had me searched for other work out.
Here is an alternative solution to regain file ownership and permission which I found on the net and believe useful to share here:
------------
Execute the following code within any content type with php filter on (ie. copy and paste this into a Drupal page, set input format to "PHP", and save the page). Be sure to delete the page as soon as you are done!
<?php
`chmod -R a+w directory/subdirectory`;
?>A common place this snippet applies to is the files/images directory.
-------------
In my experience, the directory should begin with the root of your drupal install. e.g. you have installed drupal in the path /public_html/drupal and your orphaned file located at /public_html/drupal/sites/all/files/images, then you should put in:
<?php
`chmod -R a+w sites/all/files/images`;
?>Remeber to put on the php filter. Hope it helps.
