I've recently upgraded from shared hosting to a Linux virtual dedicated server with Godaddy. In order to edit the theme files in WordPress or upload media I must now adjust public permissions to writable (from 644 to 646).
I've read a bit about the issue in other forums, but the only solution suggested is to adjust file permissions each time I want to edit the theme. What can I do to solve this problem leaving the file and folder permissions at their default settings (755 for folders, 644 for files)?
The site this currently affects is patriciacore.com. I plan to move more sites over to the new server once I figure out this issue.
Any assistance is appreciated.

Fixed yet? Same issue here, but on a dedicated server. I just posted a reply asking the same in another similar thread (http://wordpress.org/support/topic/issues-with-godaddy-dedicated-server-and-wp?replies=5). Just figured posting on this one could help as well, if anyone figured this out yet I'd appreciate a lesson on the subject to understand. Thanks, Cheers.

I didn't like the idea of changing permissions each time, or running the sites with reduced performance, so we're looking into the options on this forum thread:

I'll see if we find a good solution and post back.

The problem is that the file OWNER needs to be the same user as the one apache is being run on. So you have to change the apache user or chown the files that need to be changed, not chmod.
How to set up Apache and your FTP client so they play nice with wordpress.
