The VP-ASP Plus! Pac and higher has an image upload facility. This allows uploading of files via the browser. Most web hosting companies make their folders read-only to prevent hacking. This limits the usefulness of the upload facility in comparison to normal file transfer (FTP).

It is strongly recommended that NTFS permissions be adjusted on the directory you are uploading to. Also apply the same permissions to all subdirectories to avoid an "Access is denied" or other errors when trying to upload images.

In most cases this is something your web host will need to do for you.

If you have direct access to your server using Windows Explorer, right-click on the directory you are trying to upload to, select the Security tab and give the "Everyone" account full control over this folder.

Click "Advanced..." and make sure the checkbox "Reset permissions on all child objects..." is checked

Do this for the Database folder or the folder where you have your database stored, the StyleSheet folder and the Editor folder as well.

If you get the following error;

object required
or
Permission denied

This normally means  the folder you are trying to upload to is read-only.

Permissions on Windows can only be changed by a Windows Administrator.

If you are using Windows the chmod command does not work and is unused by Windows.

We suggest you talk to your web hosting company or system administrator. We cannot alter the permissions and in most cases you cannot either.

VP-ASP does not require that you use the upload facility. You can simply put the file name into the product or category record and upload the file using your normal File Transfer method
