> Robert, how did you see my directories? 
I can not see your directories directly (FTP requires userid and password). 
What I did was look at the source code for your index.html page (using 
FireFox).  I saw that smrr.html was in the same directory and look at the 
source of it.  This gave me the location of the image smrr.gif.  I then entered 
http://home.ca.rr.com/rosenfeld/smrr.gif which should have displayed the image 
in FF.  What I got was an error message that said the gif format was bad.  The 
usual cause of that is uploading the image as a text file instead of a binary 
file.

FTP requires a userid and password otherwise anyone could change your web site 
which would not be good.  HTTP access usually does not require a userid and 
password so anyone can look at your web site.  It is possible to password 
protect a web site so only those that know the password can look at it.
