The MiniVend catalogs shouldn't be accessible from the webserver.

>From the current MiniMate documentation:

Upload Images

Uploaded files could stored only below the catalog directory. Usually you deny access to files within the catalog directory to the
web server due to security and data protection reasons. You have to break this golden rule to allow image upload with MiniMate.
You should permit access only to the subdirectory with the images. 

For image upload please choose on the page config/menu "Upload other
files".
