Hello,
I have downloaded a module, the most expensive so far for me, and it looks very reliable, well maintained and trustworthy. Never the less... I run into an error and find here (viewtopic.php?f=134&t=216425) that the module want to write files in places it is not allowed.
I am sure you will recommend me to contact the developer of the module, but will this lead to a solution? I doubt it.
What is wisdom in this case? Just upload the files manually?
Regards!
What Module ? Please link it, to let others know ... 
My Github OC Site: https://github.com/IP-CAM
5'200 + FREE OC Extensions, on the World's largest private Github OC Repository Archive Site.
You have already found the correct explaination for this behaviour.
And if the developer is not willing to provide a proper and correct coded Extension, contact the OpenCart Support.

It is about this module: https://geekodev.com/pdf-invoice-pro
I have entered a support question for the module, I get this tip on their website:
https://support.geekodev.com/knowledgeb ... 94ecf22b91
I think they suggest an other module to override OC security as a solution, or not?

Nothing to incriminate, just following the standard coding practice.
I know from my experience that some developers are 'lazy'.
They publish an Extension für the 2.x branch, then 3.x is published and the guidelines have changed.
Now instead of creating a fully compatible 3.x Extension, they left the code as it is and suggest to install some obstruse and not required additional Extension to override this limit.
Summary of that which ends in some posts here: troubles ...
Well, with OpenCart 4.x the Game will start completely new, curious what these so called "developers" will do then ..

As they state in their FAQ, install is also possible without that Extension described in their "installation manual" ..
But yes, copying the files per FTP will do the same.
p.s..: you wrote that this Extension is "quite so far expensive .."
Well, I know many other Extensions will cost much more, compared to the mass of Extensions this it is expensivier ..
But the moment I pay for an extension such a price (or any), I expect that it will work without any further hacks!

Then:
1. wait for the fix of the developer
or
2. apply this hack
Sorry, but the "hack" eleminates the check of those folders - that's the reason why simply copying the files will not work.

Guess you should hire a developer you trust to help you.
And if that Extension does not do what it should or cannot be installed an easy and comfortable way, I would want to have my money back.
Edit: all what this "hack" does, it eleminates the check for the allowed folders at install.
But beside this, there is also another check inside the permission function.
Don't know exactly the structure of this strange Extension, but I assume that further problems are related to the permissions.
