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).

Yep, that's right. I use alternate paths all the time; a preferred location being simply 'files'. However one other thing that one should be attentive to for a new site is ensuring that the default upload limits are set correctly and the permissions to upload/view uploaded files are set correctly.. /admin/settings/uploads /admin/user/permissions#module-upload Hope this helps! -- Lev Lafayette, Systems Administrator, Victorian Partnership for Advanced Computing, lev@vpac.org "If you are sending a reply to a message or a posting be sure you summarize the original at the top of the message, or include just enough text of the original to give a context.
