Re: How to use comcast to host images
said by TKJunkMail  :
If you want to make it so that someone other than yourself can see a list of images to look at, the only way to do that is to create an HTML web page that links to all those images you want them to see. And then tell them how to call up the web page. The web page can be the default "index.html" page or any other name you want to call it.
Actually, you don't even have to do that much. Just create the directory, do NOT include an index page, and upload the images. Links to "http://mywebpages.comcast.net/username/directory" will yield a list of the image files. Or, just create a new username, upload only the image files but no index page, and links to "http://mywebpages.comcast.net/newusername" will, again, show a list of the images.

That worked out real well. Good tip. |

Glad you like it. But keep in mind that this will work in ANY directory that does not have an index.html page. If I see the link "http://www.domain.com/username-or-directory/subdirectory/page.html", there's nothing too keep me from taking a peek at "http://www.domain.com/username-or-directory/subdirectory" just to see what's there. So, if you DON'T want people seeing a list of the contents, be sure to put an index.html page in the directory or subdirectory. It can just be a blank page or, such as I use, one that says something like "Snooping around for something?".
