777 permissions in non-cgi directories

[MTDesigns]

Hi everyone,

I am installing a script that would allow visitors to upload their information and make changes. According to the software owner, who I've dealt with for about a year, I would need to chmod 2 directories to 777 -- both are under www. Would there be any problems in doing this?

TIA,

Joi~

I use a program that writes files into a cache directory in www, and it's permissions are set for 777. Works for me, so shouldn't be a problem for you.
