hey all.

i have a html file called index.html

```auto
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="uploader.php" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000" />
Choose a file to upload: <input name="uploadedfile" type="file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
</form>

```

it links to a php

```php
<?php
$target_path = "uploads/";

$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']); 

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
    echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). 
    " has been uploaded";
} else{
    echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}
?>

```

finally i found the solution…

just create a file .htaccess and paste these line of codes inside it  
SecFilterScanPOST Off

that should do the trick! no error 403 !!!  
this is done in linux server

Calm down with cross posting, and posting in any thread you find regarding upload/download 😑

Glad you got it working for your needs however 😉
