Time and time again, web crafters run into case issues of the filenames for images and more. While I do encounter some that dig in their heels and exclaim "it should work" I've learned to stick with all lower case names and if possible 8.3 names of all files if possible.
Just sharing.

first off, please know that this post isn't a back-handed attempt to promote my site. i'm simply at the "up to here" stage with my host's support and don't know where else to go ... so i naturally thought i would turn to where the REAL knowledge is!
i'm attempting to upload images to a SUBdirectory of mine, however, it's not working. i've used 3 FTP apps (SmartFTP, WS_FTP, FileZilla) and ensure that the transfer mode is good (binary or auto) and can't for the life of me figure this out ....
i've created 2 test pages to view the image properties:
www.completeonlinemarketer.com/test_upload.htm
www.usanyou.com/test_upload.htm
the problem can be seen when viewing the image properties of www.usanyou.com/test_upload.htm" and seeing that it is creating an arbitrary SUB-directory called, "Complete_Online_Marketer."
"http://usanyou.com/Complete_Online_Marketer/images/5TrafficTactics.jpg"
"www.completeonlinemarketer.com" = my primary directory
"www.usanyou.com" = SUB-directory (add-on) of completeonlinemarketer
for the life of me, i can't figure out WHY this erroneous subdirectory is being created. i have been painstakingly uploading the proper images from the proper directory under completeonlinemarketer/public_html/usanyou/Images and the properties from my web editor indicate that this is the uploaded URL.
however, IE shows this erroneous path and i can't even find the subdirectory Complete_Online_Marketer anywhere from the root down --- it definitely isn't anywhere in my subdirectory, usanyou.com!
i can't find "Complete_Online_Marketer" anywhere !!
all 3 ftp programs show a successful transfer. in fact, i used 3 different ftp programs in case i mistakenly set some property and named this "Complete_Online_Marketer" directory somewhere in my default ftp program ... but i definitely didn't use this name in any part of the other 2 FTP setups (and really can't find this name anywhere in the 3rd anyway).
BTW, i am able to upload any other page from usanyou.com .... except for ANY images.
PLEASE Someone ... Anyone --- what gives?
Thx in advance for your troublshooting help !! ...
PS
If it helps, i am on a PC using Windows XP.
