stupid upload problem

cafrow

I have been coding for a few years now and I cannot believe I cannot figure this out. I am working on a windows 2003 system and I want to upload a file to a folder that is in the parent directory of my script. Here is a better example

-WWWROOT
--Photos (This is the folder I want to put the picture in)
--Admin
--*upload.php (this is the upload script)

The upload script is in the admin folder, and I want to upload to the Photos directory, I cannot get this to work, been banging my head against this problem for a few hours now and been searching online, cannot get anything to work. I tried a ../photos and ./photos but neither one worked. Any info would help me tons, I am just not sure how to move up a directory so that I am in the wwwroot folder and then navigate into the Photos folder.

Thanks guys.

Check your windows system permissions for the sub-folders. Remember, web server uses an anonymous user id which probably needs to be explicitly given write permissions for the folder within the NT security settings of the filesystem. The same rpobably applies to the anon user being able to navigate up to document root. Again. check the NT filesystem security setting-advanced setting for read and traverse folder, etc.

The ../photos should have worked since it is a Win system, however try to put ../Photos (capital P) and that doesn't work please post what error are you getting if any... And try it with ending / like ../Photos/ as well...
