Adding to the confusion is the fact that sometimes FTP changes the case on
the file names.


Lovely huh?

LOL,

This may be the root of your problem:
On your server, you do not have a file named cutout.jpg but you do have a
file named Cutout.JPG
Many servers - UNIX especially - are case sensitive when it comes to
filenames so those two names would not refer to the same file on those
systems. Try renaming the file on your server to all lowercase letters and
see what happens.

BTW, your opening page where you redirect the content of a frames page (in
order to take advantage of the domain name, I'm assuming, has some very
confusing frame structure. Didn't look too close (had to, though in order to
find the actual source page for your document!) but it appears to want the
result of all one big window?
Instead of this:

<.frameset rows="100%,*" border=0>
<.frame name="top" src= "http://freespace.virgin.net/p.stevenson" noresize>
<.noframes>
<.body>
<./body>
<./noframes>
<.frame name="bottom" NORESIZE>
<.noframes>
<./noframes>
<./frameset>

You might want to try this instead:

<.frameset rows="100%" border="0">
<.frame name="window" src="http://freespace.virgin.net/p.stevenson"
noresize>
<./frameset>
<.noframes>
Your browser does not support frames. <.a href
src="http://freespace.virgin.net/p.stevenson">Please Click Here<./a> to be
redirected to a noframes site.
<./noframes>

This has the added advantage of making the content of your site accessible
to people whose browsers don't support frames. As well with frames set up
correctly, you don't use a body tag at all.
