File permissions errors

We couldn’t upload the theme zip via WordPress – it kept timing out so we ftp’d it up and unpacked it via cPanel.

I kept gettin a 404 error for /wp-content/themes/multicorp/assets/frontend/js/vendor/packery.pkgd.min.js

Had a look at the file and it’s permission was 640. Had to change it to 644.
Then I had a look at all the other non-folder files and their permissions are 755 which are folder permissions. Files should be 644.

For the next update can you please go through the theme files and make sure that all the permissions are correct. I had to run a bash script to reset all the file permissions on the theme.
