    Hi Mr. Steve,

    Change your FTP Chmod. You don't have access to write.

    Make it 775 and try again.

    best regards,

      PS: Not 777 That'll risky for your security of site. Just only 775 will enough ;)

    As Rashad said - Read the error message - what does it say?
    Make sure all upload folders are writeable.

    Hello Steve

    1) Make folder called uploads in /wp-content/ if it's missing
    2) Chmod 777 uploads folder recursive using your favotite ftp-client
    3) Try again

    Regards Roman

    Create (if it does not exist already) /wp-content/uploads
    Chmod 777 uploads folder with recursion into sub-folders.

    This will solve your problem
    change the "Store uploads in this folder" setting (in Settings->Miscellaneous) from "/wp-content/uploads" to "wp-content/uploads".

    note :remove the slash from the begining
    you don't need to change permission settings,
    if nothing works read this

    Chmod your upload folder to 755



    # Open up your FTP program and connect to your website.

    # Find the file or folder that you need to CHMOD(wp-content/uploads), and right click it (apple-click if you have a Mac)

    # Look for an option called "Get Info" or "More Info" or "CHMOD". The wording will vary by programs. You may have to try a couple different options if you aren't sure.

    # If you are in the right area, a window with permissions will come up. This usually consists of several check boxes, 3 labeled "Read", 3 labeled "Write" and 3 labeled "Execute". From here you can check and uncheck the boxes for the User, Group and World, thus changing the CHMOD. Often for your convince there is a text input box were you can just type in the CHMOD "755", and the correct boxes will check.

    # Search for tick "apply for all subfolders".


    If nothing will help you try to chmod all subfolders in uploads folder or create folder "2010/08" manualy.

    You check in order these:

    1) directory /uploads exists?
    2) directory /uploads is 777 permission from ftp?
    3) directory /uploads/2010 exists?
    4) directory /uploads/2010 is 777 permission from ftp?
    6) directory /uploads/2010/08 exists?
    6) directory /uploads/2010/08 is 777 permission from ftp?

    Steve,

    Although this is not a fix, I highly recommend upload via FTP.

    Checkout Fire FTP: http://wcdco.info/a9 for Firefox.

    Cheers,
