You can not just FTP images to your folders as the cart will not know what product these belong to

How does the "image_handle" save the image's url ?
Did you mean Image Handler II ??

medium and large image is done programatically and is based upon your "base Image name"

You need to use the tutorial/FAQ's link in the top nav bar on this page for these basic, often asked questions

Image Handler II only requires one image and it creates from this the others

Re: How does the "image_handle" save the image's url ?

You are not understanding the use of IH2...

Define and create your large images at say, 640X480 and at a byte size of about 50-70k(web optimized).

This is the only image needed because IH2 creates your other images - - the small & medium
