save

I have a local test server, and I am attempting to write a file with PHP. I am getting a message that the folder (../uploads/) does not exist or I do not have permission.

My directory structure is

D:\xampp\htdocs\website\ //<--root
D:\xampp\htdocs\website\library //<--where script runs
D:\xampp\htdocs\website\uploads //<--where I'd like to save

I know on a *nix server, I can just chmod the permission to 0777. What do I need to set on my windows box to give apache the ability to write a file?
