"Aw2K creates its own directory the first time you upload images and names it 'AW2K'"
Well, Judy said Pair.com makes this easy, but I think she's just got a brain for these things, and I've got a brain for....I dunno, getting frustrated and throwing things, I guess. I tried to create this new directory for about an hour today. I'm a wash-out!
Eventually, it was getting close to listing time, so I got a new Lot ready and figured I'd just use the old FTP settings. After uploading the pics but just before submitting it, I previewed it, and sure enough, the images aren't working (broken-image icons). Evidently, the LotImg numbers have again gotten mixed up with some of the numbers that were misplaced during my hard drive crash. So I've got to get this alternate image directory working before I can list any more auctions, but I need some more hand-holding.
Here, again, are the settings I've used for years:
Pair.com bellat.pair.com 21 tic password public_html http://bellat.pair.com/tic/ -------------------------------------------
At Pair, I create a new sub-directory either under tic or under the public_html folder (which is below the tic level), and when I run the FTP test at AW, I get this error over and over:
The HTTP address field does not point to the same location as the FTP settings. Check the Remote Directory and HTTP Address fields.
What really confuses me is that at Pair, when I view the existing aw2k "directory details", it shows:
/usr/www/users/tic/aw2k
This folder name does not appear anywhere in the AW FTP settings I use, and the http address that works in AW is nowhere to be seen when I'm at Pair's File Manager. Nothing seems to match. I can't figure out how I managed to make it work in the first place! FTP is a product of the Devil.
Ok, so Judy or some other genius, please tell me step-by-step how to create this new directory and make it work in AW. Especially, I need to know if I should create it at the same level as tic or within the public_html folder (I tried both; neither worked).
Thanks very much, Sue
