 > > `775` would be needed when using Group Writable, and `777` would be
 needed when relying on the "everyone can write to this" check, These last
 two should only be hit in the event that someone has forced WordPress to
 use the `direct` transport even though it rightly detected it couldn't
 write to the files.
 > I wasn't aware of the `775`/`777` + `direct` transport, that explains a
 lot. There's this "myth" where "if you can't upload your photos, chmod
 your content folder with `777` and put `define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');` in
 your wp-config.php, and it'll work". Lots of people do that, and I think
 some of them even chmod `777` all files/folders.

 That's exactly what happens, people who are attempting to fix upload
 problems should NOT be defining `FS_METHOD` though, as it affects only
 upgrades, and has the potential to decrease their sites security as well
 (on shared hosts) and lead to errors such as this one.
