    I’m sorry to ask this simple question again. I know it’s been asked many times before and I searched the forum extensively for an answer to no avail. I can’t seem to import the date from my wordpress.com blog to my ww.wp.xz.cn blog. I successfully installed 2.6 on my server. I downloaded the export file from my wordpress.com blog to my hard drive, but when I tried to import the file to my ww.wp.xz.cn blog I got the following message: Sorry, there has been an error. Unable to create directory /home/julie/public_html/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

    How do I check if the parent directory is writable by the server?

    I also tried manually creating the directory on my server and manually moving the xml file into it but that didn’t seem to work either. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Julie, It looks like you are try to import the images and your server is not allowing them to be written. I would log in via ftp and check to see if you have an “uploads” folder directly under /wp-content/. If you do, you can check the permissions in many ftp programs by right clicking on the folder. 777 works best for this directory. If you do not have the “uploads” folder, create it and set permissions to 777.

    Filezilla is a decent, free ftp program.
