I'm brand new to the DotNetNuke world as  far as my upcoming question is sure to illustrate(the boss tossed me a dnn skinning book and said hey learn this).  I have been unable to upload to DotNetNuke anything other than skin packages. I have managed to upload a couple of homemade skinning files and although ugly they are working. Now I'm wanting to upload other files, but I keep running into the following error.

Host Root:	C:\Documents and Settings\medwards\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\WebSites\DotNetNuke Website2\Portals\_default\
Browse Files     Upload File
Decompress ZIP Files?
An Error Has Occurred When Attempting To Save The File C:\Documents and Settings\medwards\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\WebSites\DotNetNuke Website2\Portals\_default\totals.txt. Please Contact Your Hosting Provider To Ensure The Appropriate Security Settings Have Been Enabled On The Server.

I know that I can go to host>host settings>advanced settings> other settings to control which types of files can be uploaded. I have also heard that one can set folder permissions which affect who can upload or download from certain folders. I do not know how to find that page and wondering if that might be what this security statement is referring to.

Thank you for the help. I knew about how to make sure the right file type extensions were allowed but hadn't thought about the aspx extension. Also while changing the permissions  on the folders, I guess its important to note that it does not work immeadiately. I dont know if rebooting it or erasing the internet page cache kicked it into gear after adjusting the security settings but its working now. Once again thanks for the help.
