Do albums containers store their own pics independent from other albums?

[sabryan]

I've created a folder called ftp_uploads at the following location
/domains/myDomain.com/public_html/albums/ftp_uploads/

My site: http://www.x360fans.com/

First I upload all my pictures via FTp to that folder (ftp_uploads)
Then I select "Batch add files", the create ftp_uploads folder shows as the only item to choose
When I double click on it, all the new uploaded pictures will be listed and selected for insertion,
I select the specific album from the drop down menu and then I click on the "Insert selected files"
After that I will logout and then login as a user, everything will look good as expected, I see all the albums and their respective photos and movies.

If I login to my site using via FTP, all the pictures are stiil sitting at the ftp_uploads directory, they have not been moved to specific albums containers.

The question: should  pics and movies be moved internally by your program to specific album directory or  is it correct the way I previously explained?

Sorry about the log explanation but i wanted to be as clear as posible.

Files are not moved.
