I am trying to upload a file onto my server using a webform, but I keep getting the following error...

Warning: Unable to create '/uploads': Permission denied in /usr/home/v1/b1242235/html/processing.php on line 17

There is already a folder called "uploads" in my root directory /usr/home/v1/b1242235/html/. How do I set my folder permissions?

Here is the php I am using to process the $userfile variable (the file from the web form)...

if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']))
{
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], "/uploads");
} else {
echo "Possible file upload attack. Filename: " . $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
}
