Django / file uploads permissions

I wrote a django app, but I have a little problem with the file permissions of the uploads files from a web form.

Basically I can upload a .mp3 file but it always keep chmod 600.

The container folder has chmod 775, and the umask is set to 022.

I'm in a shared hosting service.

Solution

  • Try this in your settings.py if you use Python 2:

    FILE_UPLOAD_PERMISSIONS = 0644

    In Python 3 octal numbers must start with 0o so the line would be: 

    FILE_UPLOAD_PERMISSIONS = 0o644

    For more details see the documentation.
