Upload file in write post error (3 posts)

    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?

    TY
