There is a number of ways - depends on where you want to put it.

You can enter the path to the image in html on page:

catalog/includes/languages/english/index.php

This will put the image in the body.

 

Or you can add the image to the header or footer file..

 

It depends on where you want to put the image.

There is not an html page. The html is inside the php page.

Try this, go to this page:

catalog/includes/languages/english/index.php

 

Then find this line of code:

define('TEXT_MAIN', '

 

You will probably see a lot of text after the line above. This is the text that displays on your home page. You can edit this text. To insert an image just insert the html here. Such as..

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'Here is my picture<br><img src="filepath/to/picture">';

Only if you ftped it from where you installed osc and put it in my documents

 

You should ftp your entire site to your pc so that you can work on it, keep a backup, and ftp the changed files back to the web..

Now I don't understand:

download is from the web to your pc

upload is from your pc to the web.

 

If you are uploading images, that is ok. If the images are associated with a product, you need to upload from where you insert the product in admin so the db knows what goes with what.

Most miscommunications can be resolved quicker when both sides agree not to use the word "it".

Explain everything and don't assume that we know what "it" is.

It seems like your quite overwhelmed by how to edit your website, I would suggest you do a little research into terms such as ftp, the difference of php and html, get familiar with the mapping of your catalog files, read the docs!
