Can I keep my images in a different folder?

I was taught that all the images used on a web site needed to be contained in the same folder as the pages themselves.

Well I’m working on a project that is heavy in graphics and I would like to keep the images and PDF files and so on in there current locations. Is it possible to link to them without putting them in the same folder?

[code=html]<img src="images/image.jpg">[/code]

@web_roshanAug 04.2006 — It is usually better to keep images in a separate folder. It may represent a structured organization of files on the Web Server. Categorizing data would allow you to do your work with ease.

@DoppleAug 04.2006 — Absolutely. In my root derectory I have an images folder which holds basic site graphics and within that I have 2 folders one for the gallery images and one for those images' thumbnails.

@RGLauthorAug 04.2006 — Let me ask this. How far out can I expand this. In other words at my office I have several servers with several directories each, within those are folders with the images. Can I take it out that far? And is it basically done the same way?

@DoppleAug 04.2006 — Are you doing it locally? You could but you'd have to make the url something like

localhostsitenameimagesimage.jpg

Not sure if this is what you were refering to.

@RGLauthorAug 04.2006 — It's locally to a degree. We have multiple servers. Each with an address like this: Share on 'File02' (L) and then within those are the different folders and sub folders. My access to it is through My Computer. With that would it be something like:

[CODE]My Computer/Share on 'File02'/Main Folder/Sub Folder/image[/CODE]
