 * Hi,
 * I’ve been trying out different configurations to allow the administrator to choose
   the folder where he wants to upload his file from the front, but I can’t seem
   to find the solution.
 * So far, I’ve got this [fileup base=”4″ showto=”administrator”] (with base=”4″
   set on wp-content/uploads/ressources/) but I would like the administrator to 
   be able to choose between :
    – wp-content/uploads/ressources/1/ – wp-content/
   uploads/ressources/2/ – wp-content/uploads/ressources/3/
 * I’ve added these 3 directories to the “Base directory” settings but in front,
   all I get so far is a drop down menu where I can choose only one of these three.
   I’ve tried different settings for the “Sub directory” settings but it won’t work
   as I want…
 * Do you know what I’m doing wrong?
 * Thank you for this great plugin!
 * Regards

 * Do those directories actually exist yet?
 * From the Destination Directory dropdown in your fileup, select the parent directory,
   then the dropdown will reload with all existing subdirectories. Open the dropdown
   again, and select your subdirectory. You build the path to your upload directory
   in this way.

 * Oh ok! I didn’t think to try this way!
 * It’s working now, thanks a lot! 🙂
