You can find out the location you need to use for your downloads folder using this file: vBDownloads Path Checker

That will give you something like /home/user/public_html/ if you upload and run it from your public_html folder. Simply alter that to your downloads folder (must already be created) as such: /home/user/downloads/

Simply add this path to the "Path to Downloads" setting in your vBDownloads Manage Settings area.

Hope this helps

Ok but its coming up with File not found. Please go back.

You can also try and come up with the path from vB
ACP->Maintenance->View PHP Info

Scroll down to DOCUMENT_ROOT, it will show you the full path. Just alter it to lead to your downloads folder.
