When you open a conenction to a restricted area you get a prompt for a
password and you can of course specify your username/password in the
url:
http://user:pass@localhost:8080/slide/files/

By default you don't need a password, look at web.xml to enable
security-constraint.

You didn't login so you are a guest and guests cannot put files on the
server.
If you want to enable that look in domain.xml:
          <!-- ### Give read/write/manage permission to guest ### 
               Uncomment the following line to give permission to do
               all actions on /files to guest (unauthenticated users)
-->
          <permission action="/actions" subject="/users/guest"/>

Again domain.xml look which store isn't commented out.
I think memory/filesystem.
