Internet cam, upload images to web page, How?

[quadcells]

Hello All,
I did a search for this topic and I wasn't sure if this is the right place for it, Sorry if it is the wrong Categorie.

Here goes:
I have a Trendnet TV-IP200 internet cam, I would like to put a link to it from my web page. That part is easy, but when someone goes to my web page I would like them to see a snap shot from my cam, which I can program my cam to upload images at timed intervals. How do I get my web page to take these uploads?
or could someone point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.

Have you checked the product documentation/faqs at their website?

easiest way looks to be via a ftp server. Go to the IP200's web interface > System Administration > Upload. There should be a FTP section where you can fill in the address/port/username. You can then set the interval of the ftp uploads. Fianlly, link the FTP server from your website.

Hi jlazzaro,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes I did that. Now I need to figure out how to have it automatic show the image on my web page.
I was thinking that if I put an image on my web page with the same file name as the upload image, then everytime the cam uploads a image it should replace the one that is there. Yes maybe?
Thanks again.
BTW: I sent an e-mail to my web hosting sevice with the same question, waiting to here back.

Yes, that should work fine. As you probobly already know, the visitor would have to refresh the site everytime to see the new image. I would suggest putting in some java to auto-update the image depending on what you set the ftp upload interval at.

Yes, I'll let you know if it works out.

Well so far no go.
I added the info into the internet cam for ftp uploading, In that secection "Upload" it talks about port 21 being the default for image transfer, but in the "System" tab it has a option for a second port open "Web Server" default 80 and "Image Transfer" default 8481.
So I enabled ports 21, 80 and 8481 on my SMC router for the cams IP address.
As far as I can tell it is not sending any images to my web server.
My Web hosting will not help me but they say I can do it but not surported by them.
?
