I'm not familiar with ngnix, but the typical "default" location is /var/www/
SSH into the box, use su/sudo to create a directory within that path.
Call it "pics" (or whatever you want)
Then chown it to your norml non-root user account (Make one if you
dont have ne)
Then all you need to do is SCP files into it.
URL will be <a>http://[your_server_IP</a>]/pics/whatever_the_filename_is.jpg<br><br><br></div>-------------------------------------------<div><div class="h5"><br><br><br> On Tue, Mar 26, 2013 at 9:09 PM, desert frag <<a href="http://shinobu.grlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/grlug" target="_blank">desertfrag at yahoo.com</a>> wrote:
