Why does Cart2Cart migrate images with 777 rights?

Why Does Cart2Cart Assign 777 Permissions During Data Migration?

During the data migration process, Cart2Cart creates a directory structure on your target store to house all the images imported from your source platform. According to the target cart's requirements, these directories, as well as the images themselves, are initially assigned 777 permissions (read, write, and execute for all users). This ensures that the image migration process is successful, regardless of server configurations.

While these permissions are necessary for the migration, it's important to understand the security implications. After the data migration is complete, you can and should change the permissions for these directories and files to a more restrictive setting that suits your security needs. Consult with your hosting provider or a security expert for guidance on the most appropriate permissions for your specific environment.
