1. Convince your FTP client not to over-write the images.
2. Move the images outside the web-tree, and use PHP to serve them up.
/htdocs
/images
--------- images.php --------------------
<?php
readfile("~/images/$filename");
?>
-----------------------------------------
<IMG SRC=images.php/<?=$filename?>?filename=<?=$filename?> WIDTH=<?=$width?>
HEIGHT=<?=$height?> BORDER=0>
#1 is way easier and more efficient...
