> [@zenofmud](#): > > Once again/ do you really have a folder called `Plant 1` ? ie with a blank in the name? Try changing the blank to an underscore in the address and in the folder name (i.e. rename the folder) I renamed the folder to plant1 (removed the blank) but still no luck ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/8/0/80d8451c616b1483432571b4b521a2bf87ffbb2b.png) ---

I don't believe you want the `:1880` in that address ---

why are you putting `/home/pi/.node-red/` in the URL? > [@Steve-Mcl](#): > > Have you tried using a browser like this `http://_PI_IP_:1800/_path_to_image` to check it is working? > > ↑ where `_PI_IP_` is your PI IP address and `_path_to_image_` is the relative path to a image you have in `/home/pi/.node-red/A/` ↑ read that again. The key part being **relative path** try `http://10.20.233.241:1880/Plant1/fe01.jpg` ---

> [@Steve-Mcl](#): > > why are you putting `/home/pi/.node-red/` in the URL? So I copied my folder from Desktop to .node-red folder i know it sounds no logic but just to test. now my folder exists on both locations with same files ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/8/c/8c35334a329ebd8078c8cf7c5794c10be779d71d.png) ---

@HZB you say you copied your folder into the `.node-red` folder. Looking at your previous posts, you have `httpStatic` set to `/home/pi/.node-red/A` - so do you mean you have copied it into the `A` sub directory? Can you confirm: 1. exactly what value have you got `httpStatic` set to? 2. what is the full path on the filesystem to the image you are trying to access? ---

Based on that, I would expect the URL to be `http://10.20.233.241:1880/fe01.jpg` ---

Just a small question any recommendations to fit a image in a space? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/c/0/c0552f96a236bda97863c3f60dc3da6340e2163c.jpeg) ---

I'm sure in the time it took you to find this thread and post your question you could have tried it and discovered that yes you can. 😉 ---
