How to fix file permissions?

Question

linux

After transferring the site from the old hosting to the new web server, it gives a 403 error when trying to access any file. If you create a file with your hands next to it, then it is easily accessible from the outside. chown doesn't help. I believe that the problem is in some other hidden properties of the files, but I still could not google it.

There is also chmod. If the web server is running on behalf of another user, then it must have at least read permissions. Try chmod 755 <file or directory>. There is an option -R to set permissions recursively. https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod
