2.9.9b URL image links.. Media files link.. Telling me error ?

[John2400]

I uploaded a few files by ftp..
To ensure they all link I ... Went to tools and synchronised the media.

All worked ok .. But an error message came up for the vendor media link..

Saying that the default link for the vendor is incorrect and wanted me to reset it to include the direct path for the server?

It appears to make no difference but I note it here ...

Original images/stories ....

Now....../link/ public/folder/images /stories ...etc

All the others were happy with the relative link..

The shop is in a folder in public.htm/
