This worked perfectly on the home computer. When I FTP the files to verizon including directorys such as "css" "images". Some images show up most do not, there is no css support unless i put the code right in the head of the document.

I assume it is a url problem but I can not understand why some files are linked to and others not, using the same url.


It's a mess now and I don't know if this helps but.....

Resolved — ’s follow-up shows the immediate problem was found, and ’s observation about server behavior pointed people in the right direction. For others who see assets working locally but not on the host, the checklist below covers practical debugging steps and deployment practices that help catch the less-obvious causes.

Start by isolating failing resources. Open the browser Network panel and reload; look for 4xx/5xx responses and the exact request URL. Try fetching a resource directly from the command line to inspect headers and status:

curl -I https://your.site/path/to/resource

On the server, confirm the actual filenames, ownership and permissions:

ls -la /path/to/site
chmod 644 /path/to/site/file.ext

If an asset returns 403, 404 or a wrong Content-Type, the output above will narrow it down. Clear the browser cache or do a hard reload so stale files don’t mask changes.

Watch FTP/deploy quirks and adopt a consistent workflow. Some clients alter transfer mode or fail to preserve directory structure. Add a verification step in deployment that requests each asset and fails the deploy on non-200 responses. If mass renaming is helpful, a simple shell loop can normalize names:

for f in *; do mv "$f" "$(echo "$f" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')"; done

Hey I'm an idiot--- No Caps in file names if the html doesn't have caps. That was the problem

I've done that before.

I believe that the UNIX servers are case sensitive. It is always good practice to keep your file names in lowercase and without any spaces.
