Is there any way for someone to bypass file permissions on a server?

By that, I mean if a particular file on a server has its permissions set to 750 (so that ‘world’ cannot read, write or execute the file), is there any way someone in that category could get around the permissions and view the file? Basically what I mean is how safe are the file permission settings? I don’t know much about FTP etc so forgive me if this is a stupid question.
