Real Newbie With Picture Problem!

[guitarfxr]

Hi,

 

I'm a real newbie hear and am having problems.

 

The primary reason I purchased this web space is to store pictures for use on eBay.

 

I have added a folder "ebay" under my "WWW" folder.

 

I tried to set up the image source statement like this:

 

<img src=*****/ebay/picture.jpg>

 

All that I get is the box with the red X.

 

Does anybody have any Ideas.

 

I'm real nrw to HTML and it's quiter possible I'm screwing things up.

 

Thanks in advance.

It would be easier to figure out what is going on if you would post a url to the page so we can see the error and such. The most common problem is in the filenames. All filenames in linux are case sensitive so if the code has myimage.jpg but the file on the server was uploaded as myimage.JPG then it won't show up. I always use lowercase letters only. There are other possibilities but that's the one I see the most.

Rickvz,

 

Sure no problem, the actual URL is:

 

http://www.guitarfxr.com/eBay/d35+case2.jpg

 

The image source HTML statement is:

 

<img src=http://www.guitarfxr.com/eBay/d35+case2.jpg>

 

I checked all of the text and it is all in lower case except yhe "B" in eBay.

 

Thanks for the help.

By the way, can anyone recommend a FTP client to use.

OK. I went to http://www.guitarfxr.com/eBay/ and looked at your file names. If you look there is no file on the disk named d35+case2.jpg but there is one named d35+casef2.JPG (note the extra f and the capital JPG). Change the filename in the eBay directory and it should work.

As for FTP clients, I like FileZilla and CoreFTP best. A google search will find sites to download them. Both are free for home use.

Also please make sure that the file name doesn't contain any special characters, symbols, or spaces within the file name.

File names can only contain upper or lower-case letters, numbers, underscores ("_"), dashes (-), and periods (.).

 

 

coreftp is a great ftp program. (thanks Rick)

Rickvz,

 

Thanks a lot man, I feel like a total moron.

 

I deleted the one without the "f".

 

I really appreciate it.

 

Thanks also for the FTP suggestions.

 

Thanks Turtle for the URL of that FTP program.

 

I think I'll have to change my name to Idiot.

 

Doug
