possibly i misinterpret. these are simply folders within pixelpost  
for uploading images within the application. these files are  
currently on a local machine, but will eventually be on the host  
server. best...jf

from the pixelpost install.html:

"# Create a folder 'images'.

# Create a folder 'thumbnails'.

# Set the permissions to the folder 'images' and to the folder  
'thumbnails' (chmod 777)"
