The selected file /var/www could not be copied.

I am experiencing this issue with v6.x-1.4.

Same here, but the field is not empty. It is happening while using swfupload, so it actually handles multiple files.

Experiencing the same issue using the filefield_paths-6.x-1.x-dev version. An empty field seems to cause the error, and no files are uploaded.

report shows "FileField Paths failed to move file () to (REG/.)." This is the one upload slot not used (there are three filefield cck fields in the content type.)

moved to active, since the new(er) post may not have been noticed.

I have recently discovered the same error on my system - if I leave a filefield field empty, I get this error from Drupal. So far I have not been successful in fixing this issue.

I came up with a workaround that fixes the issue for me. In 'filefield_paths.module', on the first line in the function 'filefield_paths_filefield_paths_process_file' replace this line

if ($new) {

with this one

if ($new && !empty($file['field']['filename'])) {

This problem still exists (and is getting very old), and fix provided in #7 fixes it.

Here's a patch for those that need it. It applies to 6.x-1.4.

I just encountered this error and the patch in #11 solved the problem.

Patch looks good although it wouldn't apply for me because it had carriage returns.

Attached patch applies cleanly.

Subscribing.

I'm getting this. Lost ages tracing it down to here (was deep in some huge imports where 20 other files were being moved around for other reasons, and I always blame my own recently-modified code first)
Yeah #13 looks like the answer

Subs

#13 fixed for me also. This solution already long time ago under this discussion but never commit into project.

I put this issue as fixed and hopefully it will commit in next release cause this is second time for me to do a manual fixing.

The issue is fixed only when the solution is committed!

Committed to 6.x-1.x branch.

The fix is now officially available in version 6.x-1.5.
