    Update:
    If I add:

    D:\Hosting\9849076\html\wp-content\uploads

    from the GoDaddy Server Details window | Absolute Hosting Path, to field:

    Settings | Medit | Uploading Files | Store uploads in this folder, with ‘Organize my uploads into month-and year-based folders’ checkbox cleared…

    a message appears:

    “The uploaded file could not be moved to D:\Hosting\9849076\html\wp-content\uploads”

    So it looks like whatever permissions issue there was has since disappeared. But it’s still not working right.

    Is it just -my- WordPress Windows version that has an upload media problem?

    Thanks

    F.Y.I: My wp-config.php file settings (for Windows):

    // ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
    /** The name of the database for WordPress */
    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘rtng’);

    /** MySQL database username */
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘rtng’);

    /** MySQL database password */
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘a password is here’);

    /** MySQL hostname */
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘rtng.db.9849076.hostedresource.com’); – from Web Hosting | Launch | MySQL | Manage via phpMyAdmin | Server: rtng.db.9849076.hostedresource.com

    /** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
    define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

    /** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
    define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

    Thanks for that.

    I see what you are saying about an IIS USER. Created a new GoDaddy FTP user and pw – using the WordPress user id listed in ‘Users’. Tested fine w/FileZilla.

    It didn’t help with the problem, however. Same error msg appears.

    Thanks…. I asked a Tech Support person there. WP is a 3rd party product, and they don’t know that much about it, it turns out.

    Is the ‘/’s in the error msg just a leftover from Linux… I hope(?) I am thinking that WP would not seriously try to make dirs with ‘/’s in Window paths, would it?
