I wanted to use the 'file' field type in webform for file submission on my website, but I was getting this error message:
The save directory could not be created. Check that the webform files directory is writable.
Any suggestions?

You should take a look at Securing file permissions and ownership.– mpdonadio ♦Commented Mar 28, 2013 at 12:58

First go to "Administer -> Site Configuration -> File System -> File System Path" configuration page. verify your file path and temp path given no error.
change permissions(writable) to files folder under "sites/default/files".

Thank you very much. I have created a form to browse and upload a file, but it is giving this error: • Warning: move_uploaded_file(public://webform/testing.docx) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: "DrupalPublicStreamWrapper::stream_open" call failed in file_save_upload() (line 1528 of C:\inetpub\vhosts\uniontrusteeslimited.com\httpdocs\newsite\includes\file.inc). The error comes up after clicking upload.– AdeCommented Apr 2, 2013 at 7:43

If you are Linux user go to your files directory and type the following command:
chmod -R 0777 .

755 only works when the user the webserver runs as owns the files directory.– mpdonadio ♦Commented Mar 28, 2013 at 12:58
if webserver user does not owns filesystem then use 775 at most
