Hi, 

Thanks! this looks like a good solution. 

Before I try it out, can you explain a bit better the "--chmod o=rx" bit?
will this this result in all files  having 

rw-r--r-x (645) permissions?

we usually use 

rw-rw-r-- (664) 

for files and

rwxrwxr-- (774)

for directories, so that other users in the same group can delete and change 
stuff on the website.
how can I distinguish permissions for files from those for directories?

c.
