Help with initial set up

I have just obtained a domain name and BT's hosting package. I am not transfering a domain name and just want to upload and use the web space with the package. I have activated the account (I think) and uploaded a web site created in dreamweaver which works fine in IE when testing on my PC. However on the web I can see the pages, words and all the links work fine but none of the images display. Is there something else I should have done during activation? The links show correctly as the right target on the web server but don't pull up the pictures. I had this site on some old BTInternet web space without any problems. Any suggestions welcome

As it is a Unix based server, beware of case sensitivity in file and directory names.

 

For example it your page refers to image1.jpg but the actual file is named Image1.jpg then this will cause the file to not be found.

 

It will work on your own PC as Windows is not case sensitive.

Dave,

Thanks, you are correct I'd completely overcomplicated trying to fix the problem, I had used the image folder which already existed on the server and copied all my images into it. The problem was as you say the image folder on the server was 'images' and on my PC I had 'Images'. I deleted everything, uploaded the whole of my Images folder and everything works fine now, many thanks.
