Thread: Just to make sure

Hi all, I just want to make sure that what I am trying to do is correct. (before going further)

I want to upload (blueFTP) a folder containing alot of pictures, no problem, I know how to do that.
Then I want to link thumbnails I made on a site, to the pictures in that folder.
Would the following link be the correct way?? (for the thumbnail to the bigger Pic)

file//www.mywebsite.co.uk/uploadedfolder/correctpicturename.jpeg

and yes, all other pics on my site I have done with the gallery option, but for some odd reason the thumbnail pic is bigger in KB's than the Enlargements?!?! (lol,don't ask, don't know)

If anybody could let me know if the file option is correct that would be absolutely GREAT!! :)

Thank you very much!

Hello,

You're on the right track, just want to make sure we cover some errors/typo's here.

If you want to be able to access those images via browser, you will need to type in the links as followed (example):

http://www. Your Domain Name .com / The Folder Name / The File Name . The File Format (.jpg)

If you do all that it should look like http://www.domain.com/folder/file.jpg

Hi, pop any of these into an html box.

Simple way
<img src="my-image.jpg">
If image is in the same directory on your site.
Or.
<img src="http://www.mysite.com/my-image.jpg">
If image is in another directory.

Little more typing but a better way to do this.

<img src="my-image.jpg" alt="nice name for the SE's to find" align="top" border="0" width="200" height="200";></a>
Or.
<img src="http://www.mysite.com/my-image.jpg" alt="nice name for the SE's to find" align="top" border="0" width="200" height="200";></a>

Heu Guy's :) thanks for that!!
I tried both but think I will go with the first.
One thing though?.........I just dragged and dropped my whole folder over in BlueFTP, tried & tested a page I made up to see if it works, It does.
But now this,.............I went back to BlueFTP to find my folder that was there is now not anymore??????????? But the links do work?????????
I just wanted to get rid of that one because I need to adjust the names for the pictures in that folder.
Any Idea???????? Should I just go ahead and rename the pictures and than just drag 'n drop the folder again???

Thanks for the help :)

What ever the name of the file or folder will effect the link name.

Hi Jeremy,
Thanks yet again :) so if I keep the folder name the same and change the pic's names it should overwrite the one that is still there. right?!?
The thumbnail links will correspond with the folder and pic (new)names.

I tell ya what, if it all works at the end of my new venture, i'll send you a great big virtual kiss :)

Thanks Jeremy.
