Checks owner and permissions in a domain’s webspace and corrects deviations without asking. Typical case: files were uploaded or extracted as root, and afterwards the website reports Permission denied or can no longer save uploads.

Note: Deliberately set special permissions, such as read-only configuration files, are reset as well. Use -n instead of -y to check first.
