The plugin files are zipped with Ubuntu from an NTFS drive, which has no permissions, thus no permissions are stored.
(Basically ZIP does not store permissions, only the Info-ZIP extensions used on UNIX systems does it.)
Unfortunately the easiest way for packing I currently know of in Ubuntu is with Gnome Commander and it seems to store the permissions (777, because it is a NTFS drive). I unpack ZIPs with file-roller, which doesn't show permissions.
If you know an easy way (like select the directories and files in a file manager, then right-menu or click to archive), let me know.
Otherwise this issue is on the bottom of my list, as in most cases these permissions are irrelevant: unpacking under Windows ignores permissions, uploading via FTP in most cases changes permissions, some hosting providers even need 777 settings.
Ok I will try to find a solution for it. I use Lubuntu on my netbook so I can test some stuff
. I also have an external harddrive with ntfs partitions.
I download your zipfile, upload via cpanel (maybe I can set some default unpack permissions in Cpanel, have to check that) then extract zipfile in cpanel. Then all files and folders have 777 permissions. And it seams my hosting provider doesn't allow that.
Normally 644 for files and 755 for folders work fine. Most other plugins use those permissions.
