Hi Lee,

I tried the instructions at:
http://wiki.oscommerce.com/helpHowtoUploadImages

Using linux/apache/MySQL/PHP (don't know exact versions) and osC2.2 MS2.

And it worked, not perfect, but it might be usefull.

I did the following

[color=blue]
1) created a folder in pictures\test on my PC at put in tst.png
2) created a folder catalog/images/test set it to 777 on the server
3) followed the instructions (at  http://wiki.oscommerce.com/helpHowtoUploadImages). example : =>upload picture from >c:\pictures\test/tst.png
4) admin says upload is succesfull, but shows no picture
5) on the server is an image /test/test.png size 0 bytes
6) uploaded test.png with ftp programm overwrite the empty tst.png
7) ready
[/color]
Not all these steps might be needed, setting the folder to 777 might be a bad idea, only did this for testing.

demo at (temporary), the properties of the pictures show the (sub)folder
http://www.televisiedokter.nl/catalog/index.php?cPath=21_23

To make a long story short:
[color=red]1)First create the folders on PC and host
2)Then create the links using catalog/admin
3)And finally upload the picture with ftp[/color]

Hope this helps until there is a bugfix
