Depending on the FTP client that you're using to upload files in your server see how you can CMOD a directory to 777.

thank you much. linux is next on my list to learn after all this html and vb. im using the windows explorer for ftp uploads. i right clicked on the photos folder and checked the boxes to allow write for users, too. i'll try and see if that did it. vbmates becomes popular with our members, we will purchase the premium version later this winter.

thanks again for all your knowlege. much appreciated.
