If you're talking about folders, note that you can create them via the Joomla media manager. You don't need to use FTP.

The SubPath can allow you to specify a particular sub folder in which to save a file when you call the storeFiles function, yes. However, I don't see how that will help you ?

Even if we passed the $subPath variable to the getPath function, the getPath function only returned the $uploadFolder without the $subPath. To "get it working" we changed the last line in the function getPath to. Code: return $uploadFolder.$subPath; Would it also be possible in future releases to add the variable $subPath to the function deleteFiles?

Changing it will introduct a break of compatibility. It would be better if you could just copy that function in your custom code. Note that if you need to change the behavior of that function being used by other functions in HikaShop, you can do an override of the hikashopFileClass class and redefine that function in your override. Adding a $subPath variable to the deleteFiles function is possible yes.
