Tech question: FTP (File Transfer Protocol)/Filezilla, cpanel to change stuff on website

FR is usually full of smart guys unlike liberals. Had to ask this question, anyone who owns a website probably heard on Filezilla or just heading to your host cpanel to change or update info on your site.

Our IT guy is on vacation and we wanted to add some stuff (specifically images) to sub sections say, departments section A or go SECTION B. Like ESPN with basketball as 1 section to NFL to section 2.

We opened up Filezilla and all we could find is folder DOCS, CGI BIN, DISTRIBUTOR and IMAGES. The actual sections are missing so we have no clue where to place the images in the specific sections. You'd think FTP clients could spread out the folders easily. The host FTP is even worse. Just CGI and Logs-Apache. Checked every folder and couldn't find the sections or sub links. How do you find those folders.

Yes, we used SEARCH on Filezilla where we find the images already in the site, but the actual sections where to place them specifically is nowhere. help?

I agree with hadit2here, you shouldn’t be doing anything if you don’t understand the basics of your site. Additionally, depending how your pages are written, just uploading photos won’t make them magically appear on your site.

As an IT guy, I can tell you that you are over your head.

I will also add that the “sections” as you call them, may only exist in code and not as folders. If he has an images folder, the code is pulling the images from there, which is common. The other question is- are all these new images correctly sized and optimized for the web?
