This folder contains all files uploaded by users and administrators using the upload forms in the administrative area. For example, when a user uploads a photo of an item that photo is saved to this folder.
This folder may also contain subfolders containing the photo or logo of each user. For example, when a user with a "peopleID" of 234 uploads a photo or logo to be associated with their user account, a subfolder named "234" is created and their file is saved to that new folder.
This folder may inherit the permissions from its parent folder; but also requires that the IUSR_<localmachinename> (or equivalent) user account have NTFS permissions to create folders, create files, delete folders, delete files, and read files and folders.
For comprehensive NTFS file and folder permission settings please see File/Folder Security (NTFS Permissions).
