Correct permissions for /wp-content/ files?

Question

When adding GeoIP.dat to WordPress backend would you set the permissions to 744 or something else?

I am trying to get WooCommerce to work correctly on my site.

Answer 1

Quick solution, make Apache the owner, then set permissions

chown www-data:www-data  -R *  

find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
