I've installed Squirrelmail on a Linux web server using ws_ftp from a
windows machine (I don't have command line access to the server).

After a bit of tweaking (installing perl to run conf.pl, removing
linefeeds from the end of config.php, adding various plugins etc) it
generally works fine and allows me to access bayesian-filtered mail from
anywhere, which is fantastic. (Thanks everyone!)

My question is, what permissions should be used for all the files and
folders? They have defaulted to 755 for the folders and 644 for the files.
The docs just say "as tight as possible" but experiementing to find out
will be very laborious with so many files. Note that I have followed the
advice to locate the data and attachment folders outside the web tree.

A related question that I wish had a documented answer is which files to
ftp in text mode and which in binary? I used "auto" which seems to have
worked. I guess nearly all will have been text.
