Hey all,

I have a strange problem and I feel very stupid having to ask...

I was setting up the various things ready for my site to go live on Monday (Australian time).... and while changing the permission on the main images folder, it seems to have gone AWOL!

I now cannot see it in my ftp client, I cannot create a new "images" folder (with my backup of the folder), but my shop now hasn't got access either to its appropriate pictures! There are a few that are working because they were put in the wrong place early on (I think anyway), but the majority of my 400-500 products don't have pictures now!!!

Is there something obvious that I'm missing here? By changing the permission of the folder to 0644 have I done something more than I planned to?!

I wondered if I had inadvertently moved the folder to within another or something stupid but I have checked them all and no sign of the mysterious images folder anywhere.

After having made a big effort to get through the various permission changes etc, I really don't want to have to use the backup to pre-permission (etc) changes if I don't have to....!!!

(I do have a backup from just before I started the changes though)

SO... any one got any suggestions? I tried to do searches of the forums for someone in a similar situation but either this hasn't happened before, or more likely, I cannot find suitable key words to match the help I need!!

Thanks all...

Kristan.
