# Former WordPress.com won’t upload

 * Hi
 * I’ve had a proper scout around on the topics of permissions, wp-content, uploads
   etc but I still can’t get my former wp.com blog xml to upload to my new wp.org
   site. I can’t find my htaccess file with Filezilla either. I know I have a world
   of trouble ahead with permalinks but I’d still like to get some content uploaded
   to take the bare look off things.
 * My blog is co-hosted by WP and Blacknight (Ireland)…and this is the kind of file
   path twittery I have “The uploaded file could not be moved to /usr/local/pem/
   vhosts/122761/webspace/httpdocs/wwwroot/domain.tld/wp-content/uploads.” I’m not
   surprised that paths like these make WP bilious but how can it be solved?
    (btw
   my site is howwelivenow.com)

 * usually you can chmod `/wp-content/uploads` to 777 and it will work
    when done,
   put back to chmod 755

 * [@samboll](https://wordpress.org/support/users/samboll/), Hurrah it worked! Two
   days ago I would not have known or cared about chmod….now I see, as through a
   glass, darkly 😉 Thanks a million
