Hi,  
could you put your server in debug mode by following those steps

DEBUG MODE PYDIO

Go to conf/bootstrap\_context.php .  
Switch this line to true :  
define(“AJXP\_SERVER\_DEBUG” , true);

I can’t say more than what the message is saying itself, either the path is missing or wrong or the header.

Thanks .  
According to the documentation how to upload a file :

```
URI_PYDIO/upload or URI_PYDIO/io 

```

Sorry but i don’t understand the pydio documentation .The are no details about how to use exactly upload with the v1 or v2 API.

Sorry but there is currently a bug on our website we are working on it,  
when it will work again, you go to this part of our site [here](https://pydio.com/en/pydio-api-v2) you will find a guide on how to use the API’s, it will be on the api endpoints section.
