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?

Re: Adding more than one image to a product?

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.
