I got this message after installing a module, my question is where to find these files? Or how do I fix this?

from my understanding of paths its
c:\program file\wallpaper\dig.jpg as a example

whats the correct drupal path? is it >>> /house/brick/public_html/something<<< ??? I am using a web host

/house and /brick where are they in the ftp so i can find the correct path? or how do i find them if i cant use ftp to find them?

thanks for help and advice

When uploading files, your server first stores it temporarily, while the code handles the request. Only after that, it gets moved to its proper place.

Drupal lets you define this folder. Check [yoursite]/admin/settings/file-system to see if both paths are correct. Then check your server to see if they got the right permissions.

Public file system path
sites/default/files
**A local file system path where public files will be stored. This directory must exist and be writable by Drupal. This directory must be relative to the Drupal installation directory and be accessible over the web.**

Private file system path
<<<<>>>>>>
**An existing local file system path for storing private files. It should be writable by Drupal and not accessible over the web. See the online handbook for more information about securing private files.**

Temporary directory
<<>>> but I won't say (does this need to be outside the public_html folder?
<<>>> have to be the same as above?
A local file system path where temporary files will be stored. This directory should not be accessible over the web.

When looking at my settings,

_***_.org/admin/config

What paths do I need to change to make sure the temporary files are getting to the right place?

I'm using Rochen as my host, does anyone happen to know if there are any permissions I need to set?

Thanks.
