Hi Maurice Yes Drupal 6 is right. Have filefield installed. I don't want to give contributors access to /sites/default but to a communal repository somewhere on the server which can be reviewed by a responsible person with accept or reject permission. I would prefer that files are uploaded then reviewed, then the responsible person places them in /sites/default/ some_directory.

Begs a question. Is it secure to let files be uploaded to /sites/default, am I being overly pedantic? Roger

Hi Roger,

I assume you are using Drupal 6. Are you using core file module or filefield. I assume the former since you say nothing about it. Also, it is strange that you want save files outside of your sites/default (or whatever your drupal root is if you are using multisite). I have never tried that myself, but it seems to work. Usually it is sites/default/files I guess. Try to change the file settings (admin/settings/file-system/settings).

I've set up a document upload on the remote server but it defaults to my home directory. I need it to default to /sites/all/documents which is where all the pdf's reside

How can I set the default path please Roger -- [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ]
