No problems linking off the server and everything is working well...AWESOME piece of work. I have my permissions set so registered users can do their own uploads. When I come in as a test user and try to upload I get the error failed to move file

Any thoughts? All the folder permissions are set to 777 so its got me stuffed. I think I'm misunderstanding the config of the folders but not sure.

Thanks for your help....This has made my day

I tried your settings on my PC and they work fine, so I suspect that it's something to do with file and directory permissions.

Maybe you can try this for me and let me know the results (by PM preferably)

Edit includes/local_link_include.php and look for the line

if (!move_uploaded_file($GPC['tmp_name'], $fullfile)) return(NN);

Take a copy of this file and temporaily edit those lines so that they read

if (!move_uploaded_file($GPC['tmp_name'], $fullfile)) {
echo 'move failed :'.$GPC['tmp_name'].':'.$fullfile.':<br />';
exit;  
}

run a test and take note of the message that goes on the screen

Then replace the original file.
