The article on Hardening WordPress also has a chapter about the file permissions you should set.
Basically it's 755 for folders and 644 for files, speaking in chmod() terms.

These are recommended permissions from the community.
- wp-content 755
- wp-content 755
- wp-includes 755
- All .php files 644
- All folders 755
- wp-config.php (public_html folder) 400/440
- index.php (public_html folder) 444/644
You can notice wp-admin is not included in the above list. The reason is, experts recommend wp-admin should be outside of the www/htdocs/public_html.
