A 'tiny' ftp image problem. Solved ^_^

[Guardsman]

*note I sent a similar message to STrRedWolf at his comicgenesis email, listed on the help page, but haven't gotten a response yet. I'm posting it here to see if any one can give me a hand.

Okay I know what my problem is and I know what I did wrong, but I cant change that and I don't have a solution on my end. I made a stupid mistake and I need it fixed. I if know that's skipping ahead a little but bear with me, I have a point.

I messed around a bit in my comic's public_html directory. Yeah, like I said stupid mistake.

I ran into a problem when I tired to upload a new image heavy daily template. The images were not displaying so I took at look at the generated html code. I found that for some reason they were trying to link to a nonexistent image folder which was supposed to be in /public_html / D / Imiages. I thought that an easy solution would be to create the folder that did not exist and simply shove the images I needed into it. For a while it worked. This is where I ran into the problem, I cant delete the folder or any of its contents to update the images. I need to do that as I've made even more visual changes to my daily template.

So...I need that images folder deleted. I renamed it to images1 in my sites /public_html/D/images1 directory so it wouldn't display the incorrect images. It would also be cool if any one had some information on where I should put my images to get them to display on the daily sites? I want to avoid stuff like this in the future so I didn't have to make a shmefull post highlighting my self stupidity.

On an aside my daily template has its images linking to /imiages not /d/imiages, which is the real source of my confuseion. It SHOULD be working, but the sever generates the templates strangely...

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can render.

I'm not sure how to delete the extra folder, but the easiest thing to do is just change your dailytemplate so that it links to /images instead, then the FTP will handle the public/workspace thing all by itself. Then you'll be able to--providing there's nothing else wonky, of course--simply upload your images to the Workspace > Images folder, and your website will link to them automatically, despite what the generated code says it's doing.

Sorry I can't be of more help. Not exactly an html/FTP expert, alas...Good luck!

Always upload your images to the workspace/images folder.

They will show up in the public_html/images folder, which you link to as /images/filename.jpg

Ignore the extra folder(s) for now. An extra folder is not a problem, missing or renamed folders are a problem.

Thanks Dr Neo Lao, your comments made me look at the problem in a new light and I solved my problem while discovering something about html that I had not noticed clearly before. That problem was really bugging me, I'm so glad its fixed.
