Programmatically uploading files to Drupal, filesystem set to private?

My first guess is that the file needs to be in the "files" directory for drupal to have access to it. Is var/paystubs/$uid what the is set as the "files" directory in Drupal? When you upload files using the interface do they end up in var/paystubs/$uid.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
