I've had a look over here but didn't find any details on the best file permissions. I also took a look at some of WordPress's form's questions over here too but anybody that suggests 777 obviously needs a little lesson in security.

In short my question is this. What permissions should I have for the following:

  1. root folder storing all the WordPress content
  2. wp-admin
  3. wp-content
  4. wp-includes

and then all the files in each of those folders?
