Lost permissions on folders, how to fix?

Question

linux

Good evening!
When transferring a site to Joomla from shared hosting to vds, the rights to the folders got lost. Those. they remained the same - 755, but for some reason they are no longer available for recording - only setting the rights to 777 solves the problem, but this solution does not suit. It's like the values ​​"shifted" one level...
Has anyone else had this problem? in which direction to dig in this case?

Answer 1

Set the owner of the files to yourself or do a chmod +w on the desired files.
