Django / file uploads permissions

Question

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.

Numbers starting with 0 are base 8. The prefix 0o is an alternative, that the docs mention.

when I try to print my setting.UPLOAD_FILE_PERMISSIONS, it is null?
