File Manger not uploading images since move to live server.

Permalink
Hi,
I have recently transferred my first C5 site from localhost to a live server and I am trying to iron out a few glitches.

http://www.laxtonvillagehall.com...

I have discovered that File Manger cannot upload images! When I try to upload or replace an image a question mark symbol appears in the File Preview and File Manger thumbnail (see attachments).

As a C5 newbie this is a quite frustrating!

Would really appreciate any advice on how to fix this problem.

Cheers
Pedro

...I think I've solved it. After trawling through the C5 forum I came across this post:

In my FTP I simply right clicked /files then selected 'get info' then I typed 777 into the Octal field.

Can someone explain what I did exactly?

777 Is the permissions you have set on the folder.

What you are saying is that everyone can read, write, and execute the folder/files.

Depending on your configuration, sometimes 775 will also work.
