I'm assuming the directory obviously exists Tongue

Have you changed the file permissions to be writeable?

Hi,

yea it there as i can see the contents of it if i go to www.wesayido.co.uk/uploadsand on the server it has a permission number of 0755 and when i click and go to file permissions all teh boxs are ticked.

[eluser]Dam1an[/eluser]
So only the owner has write permission to the folder
It could be that on the production server, apache is being run under a diferant user group, therefore doesn;t have permission
Try changing it to 777

is your .htaccess file messing things up? just brainstorming here.
