# Filesystem error when installing modules

 * I bought the license for the “PhotoBlog” module, but now I cannot install it.
   Every time I try I get a red “Filesystem error” message with no explanation. 
   I tried uploading the zip file as well, but it results in the same error.
 * My guess is that I might need to change the file permissions (FTP) somehow? But
   if this is the case I am note sure which folders are the ones I need to change.
 * Thanks for any help!

 * While I was not able to upload the module with WordPress a direct FTP upload 
   worked (to the folder wp-module/grand-media/module). So my problem is solved 
   now and perhaps this helps others with the same error. 🙂
