Title: Hmmm » Cannot upload to ftp folder

hmm..did you check permissions on your ftp server / folder? i don't think this is related to the module, but might be wrong

There is definitely some weird problem with Flash folder, it doesn't show up in the shell, and you can't change file attributes on it. I'll investigate more later.

Ok so the problem here, which I'm going to assume is the same problem ludo1960 is having, is that the flash folder is being created with 'Apache' as the owner. Thus, one is unable to chmod or chown the file (change the permissions or owner). At least, on my shared hosting space I am unable to make either of these two changes.

*** The Solution *** : Simply download the folder, then rename the original folder on the FTP Server, then re-upload the folder. Now, you have the folder as owned by you and can delete it or make permission changes, etc.

I haven't tried this since you closed the issue, but unless you have changed something this is still going to be a problem. You need to create the folder with group ownership.

Can you try testing with the latest 6.x-1.x-dev code and seeing if this issue is resolved for you?
