Errors when trying to import

Hello.

When trying to import images into my shopping cart (first time trying to use image generate), I get the following 2 errors:

- JFolder::create: Could not create directory
- The folder /hikashop/ is not writable

See attached screenshot.

I am importing from a folder that is on my live server
I am importing into a folder that has all the permission required.

I managed to work fine on my home PC but as soon as I try on the live hosting server I get these errors.

I tried using folder /public_html/hikaimport but it gave the same errors.
And yes, I created the 'hikaimport' folder in my root and FTP'
s 450 photto to it. This is where I upload all my images to (takes forveerr to uoload 450 impages through FTP) prior to trying to import it into the shopping cart.

I also tried /home/public_html/hikaimport but got "0 products found : 0 new products imported, 0 invalid product code, 0 already existing products"

Can I import from my C: drive on my computer instead of having to load all images to the server and then importing from there?
I tried c:\hikaimport in the folder but I get message "0 products found : 0 new products imported, 0 invalid product code, 0 already existing products" probably because it cannot see my C: drive.

I also tried "/home/wendimu1/public_html/hikaimport/" as that looked like the full path in my cPanel File Manager and it also gave "0 in, 0 out" message.

Ok, got it to work.. when I moved the folder I somehow lost the images. Added images back and import works fine.

My next question: when a visitor comes to the shopping cart, I only want to show them categories first. Then if they click on a category, I want to show them all products in category. Right now when a user goes to shopping cart, it displays the category on the top line and then fills up the page with products in that category on the same page. How do I get rid of the products displaying in that initial category view?
