I saved some images located in webserver/webapps/myfolder/ and I'm trying to access via Image Display Component Source but I don't exactly the syntax of the directory or if is possible to access to there.

Our Ignition stuff is hosted remotely, so it would start [http://ipserver](http://ipserver):port/...

Is this in perspective or vision?

In the designer you need to go to image management and add your photos there

then in the source of your image add `/system/images/` to the beginning of the path to your image.

you can right click and get a context menu to copy the path to it

I realize I missed the part about remotely. Still waking up today

As long as Ignition has access to the server where the files are stored a web address should do it.

I'm saving the images in webserver/webapps/myfolder/ via script and that is working but I need to access them just by clicking a row in a table. [http://ipserver](http://ipserver):port/ let me access to webserver/webapps/main but I need to access to a folder located in webapps not in main.

That is kind of out of Ignitions hands. Whatever is hosting the files at `webserver/webapps/myfolder/` will have to be able to supply access to that folder from a web url such as `http://127.0.0.1:1234/webserver/webapps/myfolder`

As an example look at the bottom of this doc at the inductive logo supplied via a url
