## Big File Uploads
**Issue:** The [Big File Uploads](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tuxedo-big-file-uploads/) plugin has assumed write access for its temporary file storage.

**Solution:**
1. Set your Dev (or [Multidev](/guides/multidev)) environment to [Git connection mode](/connection-modes) in the dashboard or via Terminus.

1. Use Git to clone your site's codebase locally if you haven't already. See [Clone your site codebase](/guides/git/git-config#clone-your-site-codebase)

1. In your terminal, change your current directory to the location where the site's Git clone is stored.

1. Navigate to `/wp-content` and check if the `/wp-content/bfu-temp` folder exists. If it does, remove it before you create the symlinks in the next steps:

```bash{promptUser: user}
cd wp-content
rm -rf bfu-temp
```

1. Return to the root directory of the Git clone:

```bash{promptUser: user}
cd ..
```

1. Create a symlinks:

```bash{promptUser: user}
ln -s ../../files/private/bfu-temp ./wp-content/bfu-temp
```

1. Commit this change and push to your site, and ensure that a private/bfu-temp directory is created on each environment.
