Permissions in your images dir needs to be set to 777. I'm guessing that you are trying to add an image and don't have write permissions.

If you are just changing the description and not the image, don't worry about the warning, you're not uploading a new image. The description should still update.

Hi, I have the same problem. On my testing (local) server, files upload no problem, but on my website hosted by godaddy, I'm not able to upload images using the admin section of oscommerce. Using KBear, I've changed the permissions on the images dir to allow everybody to write to the images folder but still no joy.
The strange part is, if I upload the image file using kbear, and then try using the admin tool, the admin tool reports success because it sees the file there and assumes its done its job. This is one solution but not one I'm happy with...
Help greatly appreciated...

Ahem, how safe is that? Or am I missing something obvious here?

I would have expected functionality like: SFTP upload image to server then point to the file in admin tool...not?
