Django / file uploads permissions


Try this in your settings.py if you use Python 2:

FILE_UPLOAD_PERMISSIONS = 0644

In Python 3 octal numbers must start with 0o so the line would be:

FILE_UPLOAD_PERMISSIONS = 0o644

For more details see the documentation.


Hope this is useful. The below method can be used. This has 2 other advantages other than resolving permission errors.

  • No issues with file permissions
  • More faster
  • The file is not copied to /tmp/ folder for files which are more than 2.5 MB (saving space as well).

with open(file_name, 'wb+') as temp_file:    for chunk in up_file.chunks():        temp_file.write(chunk)
