Folder permissions are not retained

[noramirkh]

I have a folder httpdocs/images and I want to upload files. I need to set write permission to the folder. I am doing that.

But after some time that permission gets reset to default and I can't no longer upload files. I have no clue what is triggering that.

Please let me know if application pool restart can trigger that, or new site deployment, when I overwrite that folder.

Anyone experienced that before. How can I make sure that folder is always writable.

An app pool restart could change folder permissions, but not usually. Same if you install a new site deployment where you overwrite the previous files.

I think, if anything, it may be a server permissions issue that might require a server-wide app pool refresh. I would give GD a call and see if they can run some tests and see what they can see.
