Prevent images loading from cache after replacing image in FTP

I designed a couple of websites for clients using Adobe Muse. They have specials that change regularly, and I upload them as images when they do change. After I replace the image with a new one (through FTP), the sites show the OLD image until I refresh. This is a common complaint with these clients as it appears on their end that nothing was replaced at all.

Is there a way to have the browser automatically show the new image without loading the cached copy? Can I accomplish this in Muse or do I need to rebuild the whole thing with PHP/HTML?

Thank you in advance.

EDIT: Solved. See answers.

Solution

  • the browser caches requests by url. you could probabaly append the update timestamp onto the URL as a parameter. Then when the update time changes the url would be different and the browser should pull the updated image.
