How to refer to a upload folder that is not a subfolder of wordpress but resides on the same domain?
I have my weblog here: http://www.myweblog.com
my images are here http://www.myweblog.com/images
my wordpress files are here: http://www.myweblog.com/wordpress
Now in options misc. they want me to put de folder for uploads relative to de wordpress folder????
I have put ../images, but I dont want to see that in my url's
Clumsy I think. Is there no way to put a hard link?

don't know if this will hlep since I am a novice at WP but under miscellaneous simply type in "wp-content" for where you want the uploads to go and WP does the rest. My permissions for wp-content were set to 777
You cannot put a URL there, it must be a local path. If you want it to be above the wordpress directory, then you must use a ../whatever. But even that won't work with pretty permalinks.
My advice: Put the uploads folder under the wordpress folder.
