Sorry for not using the exact terms, of course it is user - group - other
where
"user" == file owner and
"other" == the rest of the world.
In filezilla for example it is called owner, group and Public
permissions, but this all boils down to the same point:

You should not have to make a file world/public/other - accessible if
you want to keep your pants on ;-)

So right now maybe the file has the following denominations:
drwxrwxr-x  daniel daniel yourfolder
which means that the group and owner bits are daniel
if I want to change it to make it accessible not the world/other/public
then I have to set it
chmod 750
Now apache cannot access it, so I have two options:

 1. I chown the folder (and subcontent - use with greatest care):
    chown -R daniel.www-data yourfolder
    This would be the option that you choose if you have a shell access
    or someway to change the group of your files.
 2. I just add apache to the group daniel (not recommended)

(and yes, technically speaking it is user (u) group (g) and other (o) as
in the bash-script that I use to correct my drupal permissions if I
messed something up see http://mentalitea.com/drupalpermissions.)
