First, the web server acts as a read-only user for crucial files, but can also <a title=\"Freigabe des Schreibzugriffs\" href=\"https:\/\/kb.okra.host\/de\/php-wordpress\/enabling-write-access\/\">write to media content<\/a> unter <code>wp-content\/uploads\/<\/code>. Second, those crucial files can only be modified by you and through FTP; you have read-write access on all files. FTP password is not stored on the server, so if your account were hacked, damage would be restricted to <code>wp-content\/uploads\/<\/code>. Servers are configured to restrict scripting languages and serve only static content under that directory, which makes your account very secure.<\/p>\n<p>The downside is that you need to enter your FTP password every time you update. But, you have fantastic security.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview Periodic updates for WordPress and its plugins are released to\u00a0introduce\u00a0new features, address performance problems, and resolve security vulnerabilities.
