You could provide some code sample. As you did not do it, my answer is based on my educated guess.

It happens all the time. Remember, you cannot access any directories in the server's file systems beyond the root directory of your site. Also, your directory should provide right access to everyone. When you process post data on the server side, you need to calculate your directory where you write files relative to this root directory.

From the client point of view, all the path names of the directories should be relative to the page where the link is used. Alternatively they can be HTTP addresses having the addresses like http://subdomain.domain.tld mapped to the root directory of your site.

my 5, though a quick google by the OP would have yielded tons of results

True. Also, the proper way of saving file can be relatively easy found by combination of some experimenting and reading. Unfortunately, actual source of OP's problem is unknown, but most people do the same mistakes.
Thank you, Simon.
