Is there a way to upload images rather than linking them when we do a cut and paste from internet?

I have seen that images show fine and everything is good. Only hiccup is that when you look carefully the images are still coming from the website where you initially got the information from. It is sort of bandwidth ripping or hot linking. M not sure what it is called...but I know that it is a bad thing!!!

This is a real issue for me as I am building a knowledgebase for my company and I would like to build the database and then get rid of internet access.

Can someone help me or give some advice?

You could either save the images from a web browser to your own machine then use the image upload tool to upload the images to your web server.

Or save the images, then use FTP to upload them to your server and then link to them there.

Thanks -boRg-

If I need to upload it manually, is there a way to upload the files directly to the SQL Server? I do not want to open any folders on the server for writing.

About the first original question, I have seen it been done before. I just cant remember where. Does any one know?

Images are not usually saved to the actual database, EVER.

The reason for this is that it is a huge performance hit on the database, as well as having to create special fields for the storing of each image as it's own record in that field. So your image will still be separate to any text you save and you would need to write some code that would get images from the database and place them back into your text. Not a simple task if you aren't an expert with ASP!!

Usually what you do is store the image in an accessible location to your web pages, then store the location in the database. It's simple, fast, effective, and it works.

Ooh. I forgot to mention. I have already written scripts to read and write to a database and am successfully using it in one of my websites. I want to know if there is a way to integrate with this RTE.
