    Hi there,

    I put some images on my home page and also uploaded the same images at FTP in the same location as in my computer.

    But when I see my home page there are no images placed instead there is empty button/images sign. When I put the mouse over that button it shows me the same location of the at FTP.

    Can anyone tell me plesae why the images are not showing up and how to resolve this problem.

    Any help will be highly appreciated.

    Best Regards

    Here are a few things to check of the top of my head

    1) Case Sensitivity: Some websites/servers are very sensitive to the case
    you use in a file name. If your file is named myimage.JPG and you link in your html to myimage.jpg. It won't fetch the file.

    2) Can you view the image by absolute url: So if you have an image called avatar.png in the root of the site www.bwebcentral.com can you view the image in the browser by going ot http://www.bwebcentral.com/avatarsm.png

    3) Is the ftp location the same as the web location? Some ftp systems move to a directory, but that directory isn't really "visible" on the web. Eg: you might ftp.somehost.com and put your file in a directory called "somehost/images", so from an ftp point of view it would be in ftp.somehost.com/somehost/images but from the web it's just www.somehost.com/images

    If this doesn't help perhaps post a link to the site itself that might help troubleshoot further.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi there,

    The problem is solved.

    I changed the FTP sofware setting from AscII to binary and uploaded the images again.

    Now they are working fine.

    Thanks for all replies.

    Regards
