Answers.Text: Of course. From within your FTP client, you should be able to right click on the folder and choose "file permissions". Normally you could tick some checkboxes or just type the chmod numbers e.g. 777

  On the **server**, check:
  
  * if the folder exists?
  * Check the folder permissions are set to 777 (could probably reduce to 755)
  
  Within **Craft**:
  
  In: **Settings** > **Assets** > **Asset Sources** - make sure **File System Path** and **URL** fields, have no leading forward slashes e.g.
  
  ```
  imgs/logos/
  
  ```
