Uploaded files deleted on cronjob

Thanks for the very succinct synopsis. This exact problem is occurring, thanks for pinning it down to cronjobs. In Drupal 6, files are uploaded and then considered "temporary" until put into a permanent state on the server. Since Webform currently only working uploading files when the file field is on the last page, all files uploaded by Webform should be considered immediately permanent, but Webform wasn't setting this flag.

Could you try out this patch and see if it corrects the problem and works smoothly?

I went ahead and commited this fix with the intent of getting 2.1.2 out shortly.

I am also having this problem .I dont know how to rectify this.can you please anyone give me a solution.How to set permanent flag for uploaded files.This is not only for webform .Even for my custom modules also this problem occur.

sivaramapandianbtech, please do not ask a general question in the Webform issue queue. If it's not a bug in webform, it shouldn't be asked here. Use the http://api.lullabot.com/file_set_status function to set a file to permanent so it's not deleted on cron jobs.

ok sorry...but what is the title for this issue"Uploaded files deleted on cronjob". I think this title is relevant to my question. That is why i asked here.
