Hi, you are not doing anything wrong. The plugin will not allow to go outside wordpress website directory structure for security reasons. Only one “../” is allowed.
You can change the directory through a plugin filter in order to overcome this restriction. You have the Free or Pro version (instructions change)?

Here are instructions:
1. Go to Dashboard / Settings / WordPress File Upload / Hooks and add a new Hook.
2. Give it any title you want.
3. Put the following code in the Code box:
if (!function_exists('wfu_before_file_check_handler')) {
function wfu_before_file_check_handler($changable_data, $additional_data) {
$filepath = "var/www/norklerietsbutik.dk/uploads/";
$filename = wfu_basename($changable_data["file_path"]);
$changable_data["file_path"] = $filepath.$filename;
return $changable_data;
}
add_filter('wfu_before_file_check', 'wfu_before_file_check_handler', 10, 2);
}
4. Change $filepath to the correct path. It must be the absolute path of the folder, not the URL.
5. Set Status to Active and Save.

Is it possible to do this with the free version, or only the Pro version?
You can do it with Free version as well. You just need to put the above code at the end of functions.php file.
