Wordpress photo upload problem

[EYEREX]

Hello all i moved my site the other day to a new host problem is i just tried to upload some photos and it tells me it can't write to folder

The only way i can upload is to change the setting within wordpress and un-tick Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders and it works ok but would like my uploads be uploaded like normal with them going into folders for each month

Using wordpress 2.7.1

you'll need to set the folder it is trying to write to as writeable.

I can't remember off the top of my head but CHMOD 777 rings a bell, its the permissions that need changing not wordpress.

Yep, You'll need to open up the permissions for your uploads folder using whichever FTP client you normally use.

exactly this. in your ftp client right click the upload folder and click properties/permission/chmod and change it to 777

Strange but thats one of the first things i tried and it didn't work

Some hosts will let you change the permissions to 777 and then instantly change them back to 775 (i think).

Check the folders again? also check that the permissions change has been given to all subfolders.

Yep, you'll need to ensure that the change gets applied to all subfolders as well.

What FTP client are you using?
