Who is the owner? Unix permissions are respective of the owner.
Let's assume your webserver is a system user called www-data (as is the case with most Debian-based systems). Then a file with permissions 744 would only be writeable by the *webserver* if it were actually *owned* by the *webserver*. If the file were owned by root or some other user, then it would not be writeable by the webserver.
To find out who/what owns a file, then cd to the directory containing the file, something like this (modify path to suit your situation):-
cd /var/www/joomla/components/mycomponent/whatever
Then run the unix list command thus:-
ls -l
This will list all the files complete with their owners, groups and permissions. If it is a very long list, then this command will list just php files:-
