How are your links to your images coded? Relative paths or absolute of
your local folder on your hard drive (a common error)?

ex:

from www.domain.com/index.html

<img src="Subfolder/pix.jpg"> (will work)
<img src="/Subfolder/pix.jpg"> (will also work if index.html is in your
document root)
<img
src="file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/You/Desktop/Subfolder/pix.jpg">
(this will obviously fail!)

Also I noticed your listed your document as 'Index.html' If you build a
webpage on a Windows system it is case insensitive, i.e.,

Index.html == index.html == INDEX.HTML == InDex.HtMl

This is NOT the case with *nix based web servers and so if in the
webpage the image src is "Subfolder/pix.jpg" but the image is named
"Subfolder/pix.JPG" is could work locally on your Windows system but
fail when uploaded.
