Description
2 (maybe 3) questions:
1) If I use the Filemanager module, do I need to turn off the upload module on the modules page of my Drupal site?
If not, do I need to turn the Upload mod off if I use the Attachment module that goes with the Filemanager module?
2) For the Private folder I made in my cPanel's file manager, what setting do I put for the table that says Read/Write/Execute/Permission going down the left side, and Mode/User/Group/World going across the top?
~Total newbie giving myself a crash course in webmastering as of March 2006.~

Okay, I found out the answer to question #1 is yes.
But what about question #2?
#2
Is anybody out there?
Still looking for an answer.

Still wondering.

you need to make it 777 which means you tick all 9 boxes

(Giving the issue a more descriptive title)
777 should be considered a last resort solution (it is relatively insecure to let anybody do anything they want to the files you upload). Try 755 and see if you can get the ownership of the uploads directory changed to something that is owned by the webserver or can be written to/read from using PHP. This varies based on Linux flavor and configuration. You may need to involve your web host in doing this.
