    CHMOD the following folders to 777:

    wfdownloads/images
    wfdownloads/images/category
    wfdownloads/images/category/thumbs
    wfdownloads/images/screenshots
    wfdownloads/images/screenshots/thumbs

    Also make sure that the {xoops-rootdirectory}/uploads folder is set to 777.

    Most importent steps now will be to setup the group permissions for the module and its blocks via System --> groups
    and than within wfdownloads administration Mimetype management to decide which files are allowed to be uploaded
    by users and administrators.
