将图像文件上传到Linode上的Django站点

I am setting up a Django site on Linode with Debian 6 and cannot get the image uploads to work. I have the upload target set in the model and my settings.py file is configured and can save the model with the file selected with no problem but the image never get written to the directory on my server. I think it may be a problem with permissions but cannot figure out how to fix it or find any solutions. Any help would be appreciated.I am setting up a Django site on Linode with De
