How do I get an image into my directory on a UD Unix machine so that my web page can refer to it?

Hard core: Use sftp (Secure File Transfer Protocol) in the shell to push a file to another machine.

Windows: Download PuTTY from UDeploy. It comes with a divided window that allows you to drag files back and forth between your local machine and the remote one. Make sure you put it into the correct directory and change the permissions.

Mac: Download Fetch from UDeploy. It allows you to drag files back and forth between your local machine and the remote one. Make sure you put it into the correct directory and change the permissions.
