I am trying to upload a standalone .jpg file to...

xxx.xxx/webspace/siteapps/29473/htdocs/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/

and I get an error message:

================================================== ==============================

FTP FOLDER ERROR:
An error occurred copying a file to the FTP server. Make sure you have permission to put files on the server.
Details:
200 Type set to I
227 Entering Passive Mode (78,153,215,204,161,97)
550 header4.jpg: Permission denied.

================================================== ==============================

I have tried to change the attributes of the images folder from 755 to 767 using my LeechFTP program, but it will not allow any attributes to be changed...

Needless to say I'm stumped!

You need to contact your host's helpdesk

Cheers... just thought it would be in the atahualpa folder as I can ftp directly into other theme folders... i.e. twentyten theme.

If you can't change permissions then there is something screwy about the ownership of the folder. It may have been created under 'root' and 'wordpress' doesn't have permission to change the permissions. This is a folder ownership/apache type issue (assuming your site is running an apache server)

Many thanks, I will contact my hosting company on Monday Morning.

Just for the heck of it, I installed this theme on another site and again, no FTP access into the folders is allowed. It must be a permissions problem created in the install. I installed directly from within Wordpress.
