your website, as to link to from PH (or similar). Use a FTP program...

I use FileZilla as it's free, but you could use Internet Explorer (to a limited extent), WS_FTP LE, CuteFTP...

Ok.

I'm in my ftp site and I put file a.jpg in the ..co.uk/public folder.

Is the link I then need to use to access is www.abc.uk/public/a.jpg ??


Can't seem to get it to work

Have you checked the capitalisation of the file name? Windows ftp has a nasty habit of putting files up as JPG (as opposed to jpg). It makes a difference in Internet Explorer so try the extension in capitals.

Got it working! Stupid thing!

In wouldn't work if I had it in public folder eg: www.abc.co.uk/Public/a.jpg

but when I put it as the following it did:

www.abc.co.uk/a.jpg

Wierd! Lol

it's not weird, what happens is your server maps any incoming connections to www.abc.co.uk to a specific location on it's harddrives, in this case /abc.co.uk/public/, if you had any CGI programs they'd likely go in /abc.co.uk/CGI-BIN/... it's all there to let the server know exactly where to look for things on it's HDD, similiary if you type abc.co.uk/public, it'll be looking for /abc.co.uk/Public/public.

Easy when you figure it out

Yeah I know exactly what you mean. Just being a doughnut tonight lol
