Title: Trying to send a link to a picture - but can't seem to do it
Post by: shriddx on May 22, 2007, 11:18:42 PM

I have an i-bay named 'photos'..... contains, surprisingly, photos!

But I want to send a link to allow access to a photo (actually, I want to put the link to it on a forum).....

I've set the i-bay as write-admin, read-everybody with internet access and no password..... and photo is in both 'files' and 'html' sub-folders within the i-bay...

Tried posting the link in the format:

    http:\\<my full domain>\photos\photo.gif
    http:\\<my full domain>\photos\files\photo.gif
    http:\\<my full domain>\photos\html\photo.gif

Also tried by putting actual WAN IP in place of <my full domain>...

...but none of these work - get a red cross placeholder each time...

Am I doing something daft?????

Any help much appreciated!

Picture displays fine if I put it in the Primary i-bay 'html'... with link as
http:\\<full domain name>\photo.gif...

So am I giving the path wrongly for the 'photos' i-bay??

You should post your data in your html folder and it will work.

Weird but its working now! :confused:

http:\\<full domain name>\photos\photo.gif works fine now!

Did have the file in the 'html' folder when trying before, etc, I'm sure!!!
Spent most of yesterday and last night trying to get this working - and 'html' was where I was expecting the file to have to be so sure I tried that at least 3 times or more with no joy!!

Anyway... many thanks for the reply - seems your reply (or maybe it was the burning I just did of a new SME CD to re-install) scared the system into submission! :D
