The c5 file manager 'Upload' can get files by

a) Direct upload from your browser, so you don't need to FTP

b) from the /files/incoming/ directory of your web site, so you need to FTP them to that specific location

c) from any URL.

Unless any of the images are big or you have already FTP'd a lot of them, Its likely simplest to use (a) and forget about FTP.
If the image files are big or you have already uploaded a lot, you need to use the host control panel to move the files to /files/incoming/ and continue with Import as per (b).

thanks for the reply
i am still having problems, i am ftp'ing to my site directory (jpegs and mp4 files) just cant work out the url to point concrete at to get the images.
i am trying to build a time lapse portal so it need to show the latest snap shot image and the last 24 hours as the mp4.
i know it can do it i just cant work it out :(

thanks
Paul
