I am getting a "You don't have permission to access /forums/vbdownloads.php on this server."

When I go to save an upload.

Even when adding a file to upload it tells me "Error: Forbidden" next to the file.

ALL my permissions allow me to do everything, I am using the Administrator account, admin permissions for my user allow me to Can Administer vBDownloads. usergroup is all yes for the vbdownloads permissions and in the permissions for the catagory all 3 are checked as yes, view, download and upload. I can create and edit Extensions, I can create and edit Category. I can do everything with the Mod except upload files.

This started with version 2.3.0, version 2.3.1 does not fix this issue.

This is a bug with your FTP server, it's not creating files with the correct permissions.
