    right i have my site up and i am using wordpress, i want to create a link to a flash gallery i have created,how do i upload it exactly, like is there a specific folder.

    i just want to drop the folder, ie, music folder, inside the index for the gallery, so then i can just direct the link to the index and the gallery should pop up. i cant figure out where to drop the folder in my server and the url corresponding.

    It depends on your server. Most likely you will have a folder called "public_html" You can ftp the folder up to that and then have a url like this "http://www.mydomain.com/flashgallery/filename"

    That didn't work for me either, no music or anything, just nude women.

    It's possible wordpress is using a .htaccess file to redirect your site root to itself and its own folder. If you're sure you're in the right document root, then I'm thinking it has to be that.
    You could try downloading the .htaccess to see what it's doing, maybe write in some exception for what you're trying to do, or maybe work within what's already there and try putting your music folder inside /wordpress/. (?)

    Unfortunately I'm not well up on .htaccess so I don't have any specific solutions, but it could be something to look at.

    What does it do?
    Can you give us a link to the site?

    Make sure that you don't have a WordPress Page with the same name as the folder where you have the flash gallery. I think that might be the problem

    In terms of file structure:

    /
    ++ wp-admin
    ++ wp-content
    ++ wp-include
    ++ music
    ++-- galleryindex.php
    ++-- gallery.swf
    - index.php
    - wp-config.php
    - wp-settings.php
    etc, etc

    Your URL would be www.example.com/music
