    Frequently Asked Questions

    Instead of the first page of my web site I get an index of everything in my directory.
      When a directory is referenced, the server software we use defaults to looking for a file called "index.html." If an index does not exist, the server temporarily creates one, showing a listing of the contents of your directory in lieu of a web site.

    Instead of an image I only get an icon with a question mark.
      You will get a question mark icon if the image name specified in your HTML document incorrectly (ie. its is spelled wrong, missing the suffix or the name of your image has a space in it). You will also get a question mark icon if the image you specified in your HTML is not located in the correct place, for example:

      In your HTML document your have the statement:
      <IMG SRC="picture.jpg">


      The HTML document is looking for the image "picture.jpg" in the current directory (the one the HTML document is located in), if the image is actually in a folder called "images" in the directory then the HTML document will not find the picture and show question mark icon instead. If you are keeping your images in a separate folder (which is a good idea organizationally) then your HTML should specify the folder and the file with the statement such as:

      <IMG SRC="images/picture.jpg">

    Instead of an image I only get a broken icon.
      You will get a broken icon when you image is not readable or in a supported format. If you did not save you image as a JPEG or GIF, it will appear as a broken icon. Also if your uploaded the image file in a format other than Raw Data, you will get a broken icon.


    I keep getting an error -3512 when using Fetch.
      The connection between you Macintosh and the server has been lost, close the window by clicking on Cancel and open a new connection under File--->New Connection.

    All my image files have a .bin at the end of their names.
      When you uploaded your files you forgot to set the format to Raw Data and they were uploaded in a binary format (bin is short for binary). Delete the images from your directory using Fetch, select the image in the directory list and then in the menu bar choose Remote---->Delete Directory or File. After deleting the binary file re-upload the image and be sure to set the format to Raw Data
