# Upload file in write post error

 * When I try to upload a file while writing a post I get an error that says:
 * The uploaded file could not be moved to /<path>/wp-content/uploads/.
 * where <path> is simply the full path of my folder on my domain host.
 * Perhaps it is a privileges issue… but I’ve no idea how the WordPress interacts
   with my domain folder security. I have an .htaccess file in there, and I’ve tried
   allowing various users, including the one that WP uses to login to the SQL database…
   I just cannot figure out how the various components interact.
 * Advise please!
    Thanks.

 * Let me clarify, the username I gave priviledges to is the one within the wp-config.
   php file. The username that I use to actually login to the Blog does not exist
   in my list of users on the domain, since I have only been using it within WordPress.
   This is really the first time I’m trying to upload files via the WordPress interface,
   I usually upload files via FTP using my domain login, but for this blog I want
   to enable another person to upload images. Does THAT username – the one used 
   to login to WordPress blog – need to exist in my user file on the domain and 
   give access to the folder in my .htaccess file?
