Folder permisions

To allow uploads to the public folder I need to reset the folder permissions this , 777 I'm told by my ISP, means the site will be hacked. Will something less than 777 work with these behaviors?

766 would allow the proper write permissions. The permissions only need to be elevated on the upload folder, you do not need to change the permissions for the entire public folder and all sub folders, just the upload folder.
