I have acquired the website of zmedia.b0x.com but I am having some problems making the site run properly. I am able to connect to the site and upload files to it. The problem I have is when I upload an .html file and the picture files that I used in the .html file, the pictures and other media do not show up on the website. I was wondering if there was a specific way to upload pictures and other attachments in an .html file in order to make it work.

All files you've edited on your computer and found working locally must be uploaded in the same relationship as they were on your computer. Otherwise, you will have broken paths. ALWAYS use a project folder and maintain a MIRROR image of your online site when editing. Make sure paths used are relative and do not refer to any other file using your hard drive path.

This is kind of a shot in the dark. Sorry if your more advanced and understand this already... from the information provided... you might be adding your files in the wrong directory. If you are not already add the files to a folder called public_html. If there is not public_html contact your host to find the correct directory.



Off the top of my head and with no other firm information to go off of... you might not be uploading the information... make sure you check a box that says overwrite files that are the same name. If this is the case you could be tossing the files into filezilla but being there is already an index.html file it does not really upload it.



Last you might try a different ftp client filezilla worked great for me for years but I have been having some troubles with it as of late. Ie. does not do well with symbolic links. You might try WinSCP. I don't like the GUI quite as much but it really seams to be full fledged. Otherwise give something simple a shot like fireFTP it seams to work well for me.



Hope this help. I also hope you will consider where you will spend eternity. We will all stand before a perfect and holy God someday. Jesus died that we might be forgiven IF we trust on Him for our salvation. Our good works are as filthy rags. Jesus is the only way to heaven. May the true and living God grant you salvation through faith in His work on the cross. Bless you sincerely!

SmartFTP is now no longer unfastened. different than for the actuality which you may make helpful the pictures are uploaded to the final folder that corresponds to the trails interior the image tags the place they're to look, you may make helpful Filezilla is importing the pictures precise. only 2 strategies are used: a million. ASCII mode 2. Binary mode: In "Binary mode", the sending gadget sends each document byte for byte and as such the recipient shops the bytestream because it gets it. (The FTP nicely-known calls this "image" or "I" mode) Ron

you have to check how you are linking to the images within your HTML source code. For example: /images/logo.gif will cause the server to look for the images in the root directory of your site. This will work as long as you upload the images to that folder. If you have a sub directory within your root directory and you store all HTML files and images in that folder, try linking to images relatively: images/logo.gif or simply logo.gif if you don't have a separate 'images' directory within your sub directory.

Well, it sounds to me like your html is incorrect. If you put FileA.jpg into FolderA on the site, then there's no reason it shouldn't be seen if your code is correct.
