thanks, I think that's where I can find the solution, it's a unix and maybe php is not the correct user? So maybe php is: user "nobody" and user "nobody" does not have the right to write to my directory. I think I can't change the php.ini file (it gets used for a lot of sites) so I probably have to make an ftp connection and upload the file from there. am I right?
