If you want to see the images, why not just log into the site via FTP? You will still be able to browse the directory, and with a decent FTP client, it will be almost as simple as going to the site.
i can still brows my directories

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/username/images

and get a list of files in the folder whose filename includes the time the event was triggered eg
grab1002am.jpg
grab1345pm.jpg
Obviously, clicking on the filename would enable me to view the image.

I have noticed that in the last week I can no longer do this - get a 403 Forbidden "You do not have permission to access folder on this server". Tried it from work and at home - same thing.

Is this a change?

I can still access files in the folder but need to type in the full file name eg .../username/images/file.jpg but as I don't know at what time an image has been posted I can't do this as don't know what the filename will be.

Has anyone else got this problem? If so, is there a way round it?

Thanks.
if you do not use your webspace for anything other than this, then just put the images into the main directory with no index or home file, and view it from there,

Or, have a html file that shows your images and rotates them or in a gallery fasion as long as your camera can save the images like 1.jpg, 2.jpg 3.jpg etc or pic1.jpg, pic2.jpg, pic3.jpg etc. i can give you the file.
