 * Helo!
 * I’ve detected an error. When server’s OS is Windows base path is incorrectly 
   used. For example: if site is stored at D:\wamp\www\site and Base Directory 1
   is D:\wamp\www\site\upliad-dir, if a file is uploaded from frontend it’s stored
   at D:wampwwwsite\upload-dir. It seems that backslashes are incorrectly suppressed…

 * I run stripslahes on everything because on non-Windows servers backslashes in
   paths are bad business. The vast majority of folks are on Apache servers. This
   isn’t an error, so much as: File Away isn’t designed with Windows servers in 
   mind. Sorry.
