Typically the default is 755 for directories, and 644 for files.
If they shouldn't be read by others, 700 for directories, and
600 for files.

For directories,
	r => readable, meaning the directory is listable, like with ls
	w => writable, meaning new files can be created in the directory
	x => searchable, meaning the directory can be used as as part
		of a pathname

Also for directories, it really doesn't make sense to set the r or w bits
without also having the x bit set.  However, there are times where it
is useful to set the x bit without setting r and w.
