Re: photo's

Re: photo's

Got a similar problem when I tried to send an attachment via email, it would upload the photo, the photo is there but I got that same sneaking suspicion as what fhsm just said, perhaps it a file permissions problem. in which case what do we do!?! set it as goup read write? I feel a little clueless what with being new to *nix

I would do this:

sudo chown -R user:user /path/to/folder

Just replace "user" with your user account name.

Before doing anything, would be great to know what happens when you enter the above command, here I put it again, do this inside the folder you think the photos are.

ls -a
