Topic: Posting security pictures

SME 6.0.1-01
Currently Running Postnuke
I'm using Dorgem to ftp daily pictures to SME.
The files end up in a users /files folder.
I would like these photos to be viewable from a web page.
I know I can write a script to move the files on the server but I'm looking for a way to have the pictures automaticaly show up on a web page.  Postnuke Photoshare makes you import the pictures.  I would like to just copy them to a folder, each picture is named with a dateandtime.jpg, then have them show up on a web page.

Any thoughts?
Rick

Why not ftp them directly to the required website ibay ?

See
http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/bobk/SME_Manual/chpt-14.02.html

It is possible to upload files using FTP, but to do so you must login to the server with a valid user name, not the i-bay name. That user account must be a member of the group that has been given write permission for the i-bay (configured on the i-bay screen). You would then change to the i-bay directory (using the ftp command "cd ../../ibays/ibayname"). You will now be able to upload files from your FTP client to the appropriate directories.

I'm not sure about that, it would depend on how your web site pages are coded.

Did you try to link pictures from you website located in the same ibay to http://www.yousite.com/files/picturename.jpg ?
