So, your actual upload directory is off of the catalog path then and not in the admin directory? The default install now uses the admin directory settings by default, but there are also those that use EP4 to populate from some form of auto-generation process from outside of ZC and therefore it is desired to continue the possibility of referencing that location, but then when it is desired to switch over to the admin folder for other operations, that the actual admin directory name not be stored in the database.

Because the last three posts have been somewhat incomplete, the actual location of the storage folder has not been fully identified in relation to the two settings needed to assign the folder. Folder path and whether admin (true) or catalog (false) is being used.

Ie. Report was admin/temp while on tools->EP4, this implies that in configuration->Ep4 that the directory was identified as temp/ with the admin/catalog switch set to admin (true) and the report was that this folder has write permissions as expected. When switching this to false, the folder name remains the same (temp/) but now off of the catalog, and this was successful, but this doesn't jive with the original post that indicated that the folder admin/temp had the correct permissions and now that it has been identified that admin/temp was showing on the tools screen, and not in the configuration menu, that changing to false worked to reach the directory.

Unless I've collected the above info incorrectly, the temp directory is inside the catalog path and that there is no problem other than not recognizing that upon reinstall (remove/install) the directory is set to the admin folder.
