File system settings

Drupal provides configuration settings to control whether, and how, users and administrators can upload files for use by Drupal.

Note: Unconfigured or improperly configured Drupal installations may display one or more error message at the top of the "settings" page, indicating that either the "Temporary directory" or "File system path" directories do not exist and/or their permissions are not set properly. Simply create these directories and set their permissions so that Drupal can write and read from the directory.

If you are unsure about where or how to create these directories or how to change their permissions, contact your web hosting service or software documentation for further assistance.
