Does anybody know how to put your own webcam on your website like it's done on webcam portals ? ( except I want my webcam to be featured on my website only to avoid "problems")

I downloaded a program called WebcamXP but I don't really know how to configure it, also, I don't get the whole "take a picture, upload it to your own server" and so on ... how does it work ?

Please, is there anybody who could write me a short step-to-step tutorial ? I'd be extremely grateful.

Thank you in advance :)

The way i always update my webcam is like this:

1. i take a picture with the webcam
2. save it
3. upload it to the server with an FTP program or whatever you use.

I also RENAME the picture to campic.gif when i have uploaded it. Because on my page i have linked the campicture with the url that ends with campic.gif So you don't need to change url. Whatever you upload and rename to campic.gif will be viewed on that spot on your website.

I can't really help on the ftp part, because i need to know wich host you use and wich ftp program you have on your computer. Thanks if you can post it i would be happy to help you more.

Love,
Mirna
