Re: Upload/Copy Problem.

Most likely it is a permission issue. Your webserver probably runs as the user 'nobody' (or equivilant). Make sure that where you are trying to copy the file has correct permissions to allow 'nobody' to do so. So, if you are trying to copy() it to //home/httpd/htdocs/foo, then foo had better look something like this: shell command> ls -l /home/httpd/htdocs | grep "foo$" output> drwxrwxr-x 2 nobody nobody 1024 Apr 26 10:00 foo Notice that 'nobody' owns the 'foo' directory.
