Batch Uploading - FTP Directory

[pctech]

I am trying to batch upload pics. It is telling me that there are no file in the ftp directory. What directory is it looking in. (ie - where do I need to ftp the files to in order to batch add them)?

Thanks!

Hehe - well, after I posted this, I read down in the forum and found *that* answer. After creating the folder in /albums as instructed, I was able to get a step further. At first I got an error when uploading a .gif image, saying only jpeg was allowed, so I tried a jpeg and I get this error:

Warning: rename(./albums/ifree/top-header.jpg,./albums/ifree/top-header.jpg): Permission denied in /usr/home/greglee/public_html/pctech/gallery/addpic.php on line 39

Warning: imagejpeg(): Unable to open 'albums/ifree/thumb_top-header.jpg' for writing in /usr/home/greglee/public_html/pctech/gallery/include/picmgmt.inc.php on line 218

Thanks!

NEVERMIND! I feel like a dunce! After reading even further in the forum, I found I needed to change the permissions in my newly created folder and it works fine now. I would like to know this. Once I have used the batch upload, can I delete the images in my created folder or does it look in that folder for displaying my images?

Thanks

You have to leave them there, the files stay where you uploaded them to, and the links will point to them.
