What permissions on folder for file upload?

(Stephen Wardle) #1

Hi guys


Doing an application form that requires a couple of file upload questions (cv and cover letter). I've created folders for these documents to be loaded into on submit. Thing is I'm getting an error on these for fields (There was an error uploading the file for File Upload question "Attach your cover letter*"). Do I need to change the write permissions on those folders?



Thanks heaps

We do this, and just have Public Read access for the folder. Have you done this?

The file create location doesn't need to be applied write permission for the frontend user. Matrix will ignore permission check when it creates file.
So the error could be from something else. Have you checked error log and see if there is any error details?

My fault sorry, I used the same keyword replacement name for the two upload fields. Works a treat now. Thanks guys for your prompt replies.
