I have no website experiance past bbcode and p0stwh0res :lol:

umm, FTP is what you use to put stuff on the site. Just activate your FTP acct and then upload. Then link

No problem. Try using SmartFTP. It's a good program.


www.smartftp.com

It still wont work :(

In theory, you put a file....lets say test.bmp in the root folder on your ftp....and then just thesite.us/test.bmp?


Is there anything besides that to do? Im getting teh eroor :/

what u load up normally gets put on private you have to make it public i cant remember the exact way to do it i have it done on my ftp server but when u link it up it's just like http://www.gohan.com/test.bmp
then only if it's public your computer would likely either download if it doesnt recognize how to display the format(with a .exe) or display it (with a .jpeg)

AH HA!

Root= no

You have to put the files in a freeky'ly named folder that has already been created, and can create subfolders and stuff there...and you can change the propertys though smartftp easyly enough.

Guess my definition of the "root" folder is different then theirs. heh.

edit: w00t figured all that out too, now just to do my homework :lol:
