    Hi All,

    I've got a lot of .jpg images in various directories on my shared hosting account.
    When I connect to my site, and navigate to the directory on the server side where my photos are, I would like to be able to click on a .jpg and have the path to that .jpg show so I can cut it and paste it into the html page I'm creating on my PC.

    What program do you know of that allows for this?

    Thanks!

    I would suggest you using FlashFXP, it has some powerful features (but indeed its a paid version). You can use the trial version to see if what you are trying to do works out.

    1) Connect to your site using Flash FXP
    2) Navigate to the folder where you have the images
    3) Right Click on the Image > [B]Copy URL[/B]
    It will prompt you asking "[B]Copy Username and Password?[/B]"
    Make sure you click "[B][COLOR="Red"]NO[/COLOR][/B]" as you dont need them in your link don't you ?
    4) You would get link like "[B]ftp://yoursite.com/public_html/folder/images/image1.gif[/B]"
    5) Remove "[B]ftp[/B]" and replace with "[B]http[/B]" and also remove "[B]public_html[/B]" as you don't need it.
    Code (markup):
    And you wil have the link as "http://www.sitename.com/foldername/images/image1.gif"

    I do these sometime when i need them, they can bit difficult to see first, but if you try for some couple of time, it should be easy to go. I will try to find if any other software helps you do these in more simpler way.

    But I have been using flash fxp for couple of years and found it very user friendly. You can get more info @ http://www.flashfxp.com/

    Also try google with good key combinations which should help you out with what you are looking for.
