How to Troubleshoot a Hosted Website That Cannot Write Uploaded Files

Uploads may fail because of directory permissions, quota, temporary storage, file ownership, or a security rule.

Checks to make

Capture the exact error and test with a small file. Check the application user, target path, available disk and inode capacity, and hosting logs. Avoid broad permission changes; grant only required write access and verify uploaded files are not publicly exposed unintentionally.
