Stu,

While FTP'ed into your site do a directory listing "DIR" to look at the actual file name. Some ISPs I've come across have a nasty habbit of uppercase converting file extensions. I.e. the image file may be called "image.jpg" on your PC, but during the upload has converted it to "image.JPG". Also, the few ISPs I've used are case sensitive, so if your capitals and lower case are not right, it woun't appear.

To make a new directory you can issue the "MKDIR" command while FTP'ed in. Example would be "MKDIR images" which would create a sub-directory from your current location called images.

Cheers

Ian

if i create a webpage with the address www.xxxxxxxxx.com/index.htm and ftp it, i can see the page ok. but, if contained in that page is a .jpg and i put www.xxxxxxxxx.com/xxxx.jpg it says 'not avaliable'. WTF am i doing wrong?

ta, stu.

Have you uploaded the jpeg too?

Kippax

yeah dude of course.

it seems some isp's will accept this;

http://www.whoever.com/images/image.jpg

and the image will appear in a plain white window at the top left hand corner.

my address would be:

http://www.whoever.com/index.htm

and the index page may have many images in it but it wont find:

http://www.whoever.com/image.jpg

how do i create the folder/page '/images/' and is that the problem?

Get into the habbit of using all lowercase for everything, as desribed by Ian, I have had issues where my Mac will see the image but the PC won't purely because the filename .JPG is in uppercase case whereas the html is in lower.

Kippax

cheers dudes. will try later.

ian and rich, you were both right. in dreamweaver, in the remote view window if you right mouse click on /pub you have the option to create another folder. i created one called /images and made sure the .jpg was upper case and it worked. thanks, stu.
