Adding images to a website in CSS

Question

I'm new to HTML/CSS and am trying to change an image on the website I am working on. There's an image saved to the website (at foo.com/bar, the CSS has it set at /bar), and I don't know how to upload a picture from there. Sorry this is such a basic question but I don't know much at all about CSS/HTML

EDIT: My bad for not explaining myself well enough, I was in a hurry to finish yesterday.

We have the image but it's not uploaded to the website. The original image we're trying to replace is uploaded to foo.com/image/bar.jpg, but it was uploaded there before I started working this job and I don't know how to replace it or put another image in its place in the CSS. Should I just change the CSS to look at the file's location on the computer, like

<img src = "C:foo/bar.jpg">

Please be more specific and provide more details. What do you mean by "upload a picture from there"? — Timothy Chen

are you trying to embed the image in your website? is it even live? do you have code? — Rachel Gallen

Please add code you tried, what happens, and what you want to happen. Without the above, we cannot help, only take ugly guesses. — user5306470

Basic html for embedding an image

<img src="http://www.foo.com/folder/image.jpg" alt="My image" height="100" width="100">

or you can set h/w to auto or specify your own

if you are setting it as a background image in your css you can do

background-image: url("http://www.foo.com/folder/image.jpg");

within the div/body css

I edited the post, hopefully that makes thing a bit more clear. I'm not trying to upload a picture from an existing folder on the website, I'm trying to replace an image in that folder with another one.

@Sig you can't point to a local file on your desktop from your website, it needs to be uploaded before you can use the image
