They are outside the document root so your web server can't serve them.

make a folder called users inside your images folder?

Yes, the root of your site is the webroot dir (hence the name). Anything in there can be accessed directly (like, /css/whatever.css, /img/whatever.jpg, or /foo.html). whats can I do to make a separated image folder for users ? There are three (that I know of) ways to go about this using existing code. MediaView [1], Nick Baker's FileUpload plugin [2], or David Persson's Media plugin [2]. I haven't used the latter, although I have looked at the code. It seems very complete but, as I said, I haven't used it. The FileUpload plugin works great, although I've never used the helper part of it. I don't know if it's a very good solution if you'll be serving lots of these files. If so, you should consider caching. Ditto for MediaView.

Re: Display images outside webroot folder
When the images are uploaded do you save any information into your db that associates to the filename on disk? If you do you could use that model's controller and an action like getimage and then use the media helper to return the file. as in myapp/users/getimage/somename This can further be enhance with named parameters to match to a specific user myapp/users/getimage/uid:20/fname:somename Media View allows you to return binary data from a controller action with a specific header that identifies its type. The controller and model have access to the folders outside the browsers view and can read the file and return it as a specific image. http://book.cakephp.org/view/489/Media-Views I use this technique to track when emails have been read. One of the space.gif images in my emails has unique named parameter which ties it directly to a specific sent email. So when it is read the controller action updates the sent email as read and the gif that is returned is a file in my templates folder.
