You don't need to scan the folder for this.

Answer 2

it is not possible to make SQL dumps due to the huge size of the database files, so it was decided to simply take the files into an archive and upload them to the host in the same folder (but via ssh)
now the only thing that came to mind was before accessing the directory where database make it exec-> chown on apache:apache to access the files.
