Description Andy Brook

If I have a project with the following structure, I am not able to create a new 
top level folder under web-content that contains another directory.  I get a 
403 forbidden error.  No sub folders can be uploaded.

/web-content
   /company
   /it
   /employee

So the following cannot be added :-

/web-content
   /apps
      /stuff
          /myfile.txt
          ...

But, the following enables all entries under 'stuff' to be loaded :-

/web-content
  /apps
     workDarnIt.txt
     /stuff
         /myfile.txt
         ...
