Whats the update on this one? Is this fixed on 1.6.x or ???

Another solution i found is just delete .htaccess in your media folder

that could be dangerous, especially in a folder that needs 777 permissions. see this blog post for more details

This just seems to me that Magento decided to change the upload path for the Media Manager/Uploader from:

media/

to:

media/wysiwyg

Which I don’t think is a bad idea. Makes sense that uploads from the WYSIWYG is sandboxed some way and not allowed just to dump anything it wants at media/ root. Kind of stinks that it doesn’t degrade gracefully, but I’m just going to stick with the wysiwyg directory and eventually cleanup media/ after about a year.
