Re: Subject: Help required... Simple File Upload

By default, your webserver doesnt have permissions to write to directories other than /tmp or /temp. File uploads as you discovered are placed in the temp directories first, then you have to copy them to a storage directory accessible to your server - though I recommend placing it outside document root so the uploaded files can't be browsed directly. You haven't specified the OS you are using, but I bet its win2k or NT - you need to change the permissions on this directory to allow the webserver's user or group write access to this directory and its subdirectories. (This is common on linux but should work okay on w95/98/ME because they don't have strong security settings for directory access) Hope that helps Neil Smith. At 07:21 24/11/2002 +0000, you wrote:
