image problems !!!

i have created a web site which is all stored into a folder called web
inside this folder is the pages i have created ie index.htm /contactus.htm
ect...and a folder called images
the images folder contains all of my images both gif and jpg format
when i created the web site i worked on each page individually rather than
biuld one and copy to all (apart from the main website navigation buttons)
when i was entering pictures into the web pages within my web site i did
this by creating a section in the size i wanted and then modifing the
background of this section to point to the images folder then to the image
itself.
some pictures were created by actually adding the picture in then
transforming the size to the wanted peramitters.
i then uploaded (published) to my bt business server and found that i kept
entering into a error code of 553 cwdir: not found
i contacted the server help desk who sujested that i upload via ftp:/
manualy through internet explorer.this i did (via drop n drag) and had no
problems uploading (no errors).
but no pictures would load. i just keep getting a small white box with a red
x in it.
i then removed the folder link in the html codeing =3D no
moved the pictures out of the folder into the same file as the webpages = no
changed the folder link from images/imagename to the complete server
address/docs/images/imagename = no
then phones the help desk again but noone can understand why it works fine
on my computer until i try to publish it either by ftp manualy or by the
publish web in the file tab.
the server claims to support frontpage but i just thought if they dont
support my frontpage "2002" but maybe an earlier version like 2000 would this
cause the error in my pics. or would none of it work ?

please help im going bald here !!

Usually when you get red x's instead of pictures, it
means that the hyperlink points to the version of the
picture that resides on your C: drive but is outside of
the Front Page web. The reason you can see them in
preview is that the website has access to your hard
drive. On the net, it does not and thus show the red x to
indicate that it cannot find said picture file.

I assume that you have created a Front Page Web as your
first step in creating your site (File | New | Web or
whaterver for your version of Front Page). The second
step is to import your image into this Front Page Web,
usually into the folder named images. The third step is
create pages onto which you would place the images from
this folder.

I hope this helps you resolve your issue.

A 553 error using BT's servers usually indicates an invalid file name.
Remove all spaces and other illegal characters from the file and folder
names.
Legal characters are alphanumeric, with the addition of the hyphen and
underline. (A full point should be between the name and extension.) Since
BT uses Unix servers, it would probably be better if your files were all
named in Lower case - Unix is case sensitive, Windows is not.

Can you give a URL to the published site?
