Permissions. SERIOUSLY, what do we do ???

So, WordPress wants permissions of the Apache user, which on many Cpanel type hosting is “nobody” user.

But when we want to FTP files, we have to do this with the Cpanel user–the user who owns the domain.

So which one should it be? What do we do? Can’t both “nobody” and the cpanel user just “get along”?

Welcome any ideas — and this really should be in the official documentation as a simple remark/recommendation once and for all.

Many thanks!
