Assuming you are using a UNIX or LINUX server, check the permissions on the directory that you are trying to upload to.

The web server needs to be the owner of the directory and have write access.

You also might want to try using the server path to the directory instead of a relative path.

www.networkintegration.net/images
Do i need to enter this full path.
What i am trying so far is images/imagename.gif

to "create" a new file you have to set right 777 to the directory (not the files in it!). The command is "chmod 777 /directory"

Otherwise the wwwrun (runs the script) can't access this directory.

If you want to "upload" a file... read the manual 😃 or one of those nice workshops on this page...
