Plugin/Theme Auto Update and file permissions (1 post)

    I cannot get auto update to work on some files. I finally traced everything down to my file permissions as the source of the issue. Any themes or plugins that I install directly from within WP have an owner and group id set to 1000. I can delete these or modify them directly using the WP interface. However, any themes or plugins that I upload through sftp, take on an owner and group id of 0. These, I can't touch unless I open up another sftp window and work on them from within there, or change the owner/group ids to 1000. Then they will update/delete using the commands inside WP.

    My question is what should the ids be for most or all of my folders? The root WPMU folder is set to 33. Is this correct or should everything be set to 1000?
