I'm trying to get into Drupal mode after a few years working with Xoops so apologies if this is a silly question but it has me stumped.

Trying to mass import pictures from a folder on my server. I've tried using the full server path to the folder (similar to what I use in Gallery 2, etc.) of /home/{user}/public_html/{folder} ({user} and {folder} replaced with appropriate names). I get a "Could not find server-side directory" message. I've tried every combination I can think of - relative, absolute, url, etc. What should the format be to get to the folder on my server?

/acidfree/test shows no errors and Gallery 2 and Xoops can access the directory so I'm assuming no permissions or folder creation/existence issues.

Thanks!

The format is something as simple as 

/home/vhmauery/media/files_to_import

Make sure that the path exists on the server as you are typing it in -- I tried typing a path in from memory and got it wrong. cd to the path on the server and type `pwd`. Use that full path to put in the field for mass import. Or relative paths from the drupal root dir work as well.
