This message is intended to protect your site from unwanted scripts. Therefore, it is necessary to configure the system to specify which files we want to give execution permissions to. In order to remove this message, we must first connect to FTP. Guide to creating an FTP account Change files to 755 under FileZilla software Please remember!!! Only change files under the /html directory! The html directory is the working directory. Please do not change files above this directory, only below it. 1. After logging into the FTP account, go to the main directory, select all the files and directories, right-click to bring up the following menu, and select "File Permissions." 2. Then type 755, select "Apply to files only," and click OK. Wait for FileZilla to complete the operation without errors. Then open the site, refresh using Ctrl + F5, and check that the error has indeed disappeared. For WordPress users, you can add this line:
define( 'FS_CHMOD_FILE', ( 0755 & ~ umask() ) );
in the wp-config.php file, just above the line:
/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */in order to stop receiving these messages. Good luck.
