Thanks Craig, Alex, and Baglan...
What I wanted to do in the end was this:
- I put the image in a subdirectory of the public_html directory.
- Called it using the following:
<IMG SRC="http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/images/mypic.gif">
There were 2 problems which make me second guess all of this:
1) I wasn't too sure how to indicate the subdirectory in relation to where the file
was stored
2) One of the pic had a name with spaces in it (apparently not a good idea!)
Anyway, I just want to thank you again and let you know that everything works fine
for now...
