thomearl Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 I want to be able to post photos on a photography website that I visit. I need to host the photos from my website. Where do I place this folder so that I'm able to do this? I don't want anyone else to have access or view the photos from my site. I'm new to this, so any help is appreciated. Thanks. Quote
Samrc Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 Welcome to the Forums! Inside your public_html folder you can make a folder to hold your images. You can call it anything you want, people often choose images as a folder name. Or you can use a different name. I use external for the folder that holds my images that I allow external linking (that I specify). Then upload your images to that folder. If you do not want the DIRECTORY list to be seen by typing in http://www.yoursite.com/images/ then in open NOTEPAD to a blank page, name it index.htm and upload that to your images directory. When the address is typed in for the directory, a plain white page is loaded in the browser, no code, no file list. Then please read this post about stopping hot linking. Quote
