    Default Adding more than one image to a product?

    I'm trying to follow the tutorial here: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=58

    Specifically I am here:
    From the Admin, you edit a product and specify an image file called:
    a_bugs_life.gif
    and put it in the
    /images/dvd directory via the drop down.

    Now you use your FTP program to upload additional images to /images/dvd
    I opened my product listing, added the image, clicked the dvd option from the dropdown, and updated it. What I don't understand is where I would now FTP the additional image. Do I first need to create a subfolder under images titles dvd and put them there?

    If your product's MAIN image is called:

    productimage.jpg

    then additional images will be:

    productimage_01.jpg
    productimage_02.jpg
    productimage_03.jpg



    And these are loaded into the SAME directory as the product's MAIN image.

    Ok, I see that I had the image names incorrect then. I renamed them as per your instruction. Since I added the first picture though the product page on admin, I'm still not sure where to find in my FTP program where to load the additional image though.

    Where would I look in the FTP?

    If we are to take your first example of having an image in the "dvd" folder, then your would open your FTP program to have:

    In the LEFT PANE - your hard drive at your home computer. Navigate to the folder containing your additional images.

    In the RIGHT PANE - your remote server where your shop is hosted.

    In the RIGHT PANE, navigate to:

    /images/dvd/

    And upload to that folder.
