Description of my issue:
Hi,

We are running RSFirewall and Akeeba Backup files are creating some warnings due to their file permissions settings. Can we change the file permissions to 644 without issues for Akeeba or should we leave these files as is?

Thank you,
Tiff for Marjanne

From RSFirewall with permissions numbers next to file name:
[button: Attempt to fix permissions to 644 on the selected files]
Warning! This will attempt to set the selected files to 644 permissions. If you have any files that might need different permissions, please deselect them. Changing permissions will only work if your server configuration allows it. Otherwise, you'll need to connect to your FTP server and change the permissions manually.
