Re: Linking to a file on my website webspace??
you havent gone wrong, the file is there!

the webspace is set up so that nobody can see the directory lsting when they browse to your cgi-bin folder (this is a good thing). Type in the full name and path of the file in your browser e.g.

http://your.website/cgi-bin/picture.jpg

and it should display.

the 404 not found means it couldnt find a webpage to display to explain the error, because you havent made one yet

oh yeah, and make a separate directory in the root directory for images, cgi-bin is used for scripts and things.
