Jason: Put the following in your browser's address field:
ftp://userid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Obviously, you will substitute your user ID for userid, your password for password and your domain name for domain.com. If your web space is the one provided by your ISP, you'll need the full address after the @ sign (e.g., ispname.com/userwebs/wentworth), rather than a simple domain name. If you have the correct values (and, please note, a colon between the user ID and the password), you'll get a Windows Explorer screen containing the domain name. Right click on the domain name and choose Explore. You will then have the file system of your website laid out just like the contents of any top-level folder on your hard disk. At that point, all you need to do is copy and paste from the file names of your JPEGs. If your website has no subfolders, your copy and paste will simply be to the folder that already contains everything else. For a long-run solution, get something like Microsoft FrontPage 2003 and maintain your site in http mode. It took me only a few minutes to teach the basics of FrontPage to someone for whom I created a website.
