As a temporary measure (without security features) find the path to the
directory you want to upload files to - eg /home/www/htdocs/site/gifs

>From a shell do (as root)  : chmod -R a+rw /home/www/htdocs/site/gifs/*

This will give any user read/write permissions to that directory and any
below it.

Subject: Uploading files on a Cobalt
