# cannot find uploads

 * Thumbnails are displayed correctly in the “write post panel” in Dashboard. When
   I click the thumbnail, I get the following message: Safari can’t open the page“
   http://wp-admin/upload.php?action=edit&ID=246” because it can’t find the server“
   wp-admin”. A similar error with Firefox.
 * I believe this started to happen after I re-uploaded the wp-admin directory to
   my host.
 * When I approach the wp-content/uploads directory with an FTP client it appears
   to be empty whilst I am pretty sure that there is at least one file in that directory.
 * Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

 * I desperately want to get rid of this error message, but have no clue where to
   look. Is there maybe somebody who could point me in the right direction? Thank
   you.
