Hello , i'm trying to put up this banner that i created and when i upload it thru filezilla , the image doesn't show . I did some research first , but it said to go to your public_html and to images. However i couldn't find that folder. I tried to create a images folder in filzilla to see if that would work and i got nothing ... I'm very new to this , so please bear with me and my ignorance regarding website design ... ( the website is called words4theheart.com if you would like to check it out. Again i'm very new)

thanks for any help

    Hi,

    If you don't see the public_html folder in the remote files, then another option could be the www folder.

    Once you upload the image you also need to modify the code on your webpage so that it can find the image.

    Currently your code is pointing to a file on your local computer: src="file:///C:/Users/user/Desktop/wrds4hrt/wrdsbnnr.jpg"

    which will need to be changed to src="wrdsbnnr.jpg"

  • Eddie,

    It doesn’t really matter where you put the image in your file structure in Filezilla as long as the path in your HTML is pointing to the right location of where the image is located. So for example if you uploaded the image to the root of your domain (i.e. public_html or www) then your syntax would look like this,

    <img src=”/image.jpg” /> or <img src=”../image.jpg” />

    If you uploaded the image into a folder that was found in public_html/images/stories/image.jpg then your syntax would look like this,

    <img src=”/images/stories/image.jpg” /> or <img src=../images/stories/image.jpg” />

    So in a nutshell, it doesn’t matter where you put the image as long as you specify the correct location in your html. In your case you definitely want to remove the file:///C:/Users/user/Desktop/wrds4hrt/wrdsbnnr.jpg and find out where the real path is. It is definitely not that.

    Perhaps this tutorial on links and paths would be of some use,

    Hope that helps,
