 * I’ve setup cforms and have a form with an upload field.
    No matter what paths
   I put in the file Upload Settings fields i get this error at the top of the page:
   Can’t find the specified Upload Directory ! Please verify that it exists!
 * I’m guessing the Upload Directory (absolute path) would be the path i get when
   i access via ftp which is:
    /httpdocs/****/wp-content/uploads-dir
 * and the relative path:
    [http://*****.com/****/wp-content/uploads-dir](http://*****.com/****/wp-content/uploads-dir)
 * I’ve tried every combination of paths i can think of but still no go.
 * Any help would really be appreciated

 * you just want the relative path – like
    `/wp-content/uploads-dir`

 * Thanks Samboll,
 * In the end I did a complete removal and reinstall of the plugin and now its working
   perfect…even automatically picked up the correct path info.

 * I’m having the same exact problem. I’d rather not remove and reinstall cform.
   I created a pretty lengthy form.
 * No matter what I put in I get the error:
    Can’t find the specified Upload Directory!
   Please verify that it exists!
 * I have copied the dir right out of the actual directory on DreamHost:
    /wp-content/
   my-upload-dir.
 * What am I doing wrong?

 * I was having the same problem and did not want to re-install the plugin as I 
   had created a long form. I did some digging and found a file called **abspath.
   php** in the **/wp-content/plugins/cforms/** directory. If you edit/view that
   file, it contains the absolute path.
 * I was able to use that path and it works perfectly without re-installing or creating
   a new form. Try it out and let us know if you have different results.

 * This works for me when uploading to the same WP directory where cform is running
 * /home/username/public_html/wp-content/whatever
 * but when i cant get it to go to a different server, at
    [http://www.xxx.net/uploads/](http://www.xxx.net/uploads/)
   this is what i see my path as in FTP, is that my abs? /var/www/www.xxx.net/uploads
 * seems so simple, why is so confusing for everyone? days messing w this, please
   help. thanks!

 * ok so when uploading to a different server, use only
    _Upload directory URL (
   relative path/URL)_ so im using [http://www.xxx.net/uploads](http://www.xxx.net/uploads)
   get no errors building or submiting the form, get email and tracking shows correctly,
   even the path in the tracking form with the path to the uploaded file [http://www.xxx.net/uploads/something.zip](http://www.xxx.net/uploads/something.zip)
   but there is no file there, directory is empty. chmod 777. im not sure how a 
   form can submit a file to a different server without a logon…

 * I know it’s obvious, but have you been to the plugin forum?
 * I’m only asking because the programmer is exceptionally helpful on there…..Ive
   had every question answered within a day
