Standard permissions for wordpress; Plugin installation asks for FTP credentials

I’m on a server that does not have FTP installed and will not have FTP installed. I have another website that I’ve been able to install plugins in before, including the one I’m trying to install now (WP-PageNavi).

Does anyone have a list of standard permissions for WordPress that they use themselves so that they don’t run into this issue?

I’ve read the WordPress article on the topic and looked at other questions on this website.

Any help is appreciated.

Standard permissions for most WordPress installations is 755 for directories and 644 for files.

For media uploads, auto plugin installation and updates the directories need to be owned by the same user PHP is running under. Usually this is nobody:nobody or www-data:www-data.
