I have a website I would like to store pictures for my auctions. However, I am clueless as to how I can do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

1. In order to upload your own images you have to have webspace somewhere, either through your ISP (free), or one that you pay for.
If you do not have space through your ISP then try out a place like http://www.pair.com/pair/shared/ftp.html. You will pay $4.95 a month for 50 MB webspace. There are also other free sites.
2. You will need to upload your images using an FTP program (File Transfer Protocol). Go to www.tucows.com and search for WS_FTP LE (freeware). This is a very easy FTP program. There are also other good ones -- but DO NOT use CUTE_FTP which is a known spyware program.
3. Once you have found a webspace, you will find that they will also be able to advise you how to set up the FTP program. It is really very straightforward, and once set up you will be able to upload with just the click of a button.

Try this. Go to www.download.com and search for a program titled wsftp. It is a file transfer protocol program and the easiest I have found. You then only need to install it. Get your username and password from you website host. Most host can email you the instruction on how to get WsFtp working for you. Once it is setup you wont have to change any of the setting again.

I also think http://www.ftpplanet.com would be a good resource. The Site is put out by Ipswitch software, which makes WsFTP.

ok now listen .... you do not need to FTO
I contacted my web provider ...he made an upload exactly the same as AW image upload...you can delte the pictures right from your site and they upload in thumb nail form ...you can click on them to make them big..he also included the properties on the side of the thumb nail so you can copy and paste it in your auction making program. i use frontpage ...upload them with mister lister
