Of course, it is always possible to FTP files directly, but it would be more convenient for Frog’s own file manager to do the job, of course!

If your host is running in SAFE MODE ON there are a lot of restrictions: the upload directory and upload script has to be owned by the same user (not necessarily run by that user though). Specifically, this gives you a problem if you use the webinterface to create a new dir: 1. the new dir is owned by the user running the webserver 2. When using the interface to upload to this dir, the uploader phpscript owned by you tries to write to the dir owned by the other user – this is not allowed with SAFE MODE ON Workaround: create directories using ftp and make them writable.

Try and upload a small info.php script with the fabulous phpinfo(); command – and have a look the output – look for usernames in both script executor and script owner – and safe_mode. I works for me, when I create subdirs using ftp, because then the php script uploading/renaming files works in a dir owned by the same user – and then it doesn’t matter that the user RUNNING the script (the www user) is different (safe mode on). It is really difficult to say anything wihtout knowing the owners of the php scripts, the upload dir, the uploaded files etc.

You should only see PHP errors, and those appear on the pages where an error is thrown. It might not help in the case where the problem is simply a mis-match of permissions. 2. upload info.php script, to what directory? Your Frog’s root directory would be fine: `http://myfrogsite.com/info.php` would do it.

Jul 9, 2009 22:48 Ax 58 posts	When i try to upload a files over the file-manager i have a this (‘File has not been uploaded!’) answer: `public function upload() { $this->_checkPermission(); $data = $_POST['upload']; $path = str_replace('..', '', $data['path']); $overwrite = isset($data['overwrite']) ? true: false; if (isset($_FILES)) { $file = upload_file($_FILES['upload_file']['name'], FILES_DIR.'/'.$path.'/', $_FILES['upload_file']['tmp_name'], $overwrite); if ($file === false) Flash::set('error', __('File has not been uploaded!')); } redirect(get_url('plugin/file_manager/browse/'.$path)); }` That i see in the err_log of my host: `[Fri Jul 10 09:22:52 2009] [error] PHP Warning: Unknown: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/var/tmp/) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/u17629/) in Unknown on line 0 [Fri Jul 10 09:22:52 2009] [error] PHP Warning: File upload error - unable to create a temporary file in Unknown on line 0` What can i do?

Jul 9, 2009 23:08 Ax 58 posts	Okay. Problem solved. The problem was the lack of rights for the tmp directory.

I also get this File has not been uploaded error. I am thinking that this has got to be a problem with my web hosting service now. I will try scanning the log in case the problem lies within somewhere.
