Sorry Been away but I still have issues with this.
I will try to answer some of the replys in some type of order

1. WSFTP- Yes I am aware of issues with the settings.
In this instance I uploaded in manual mode not auto mode. Image folder and sub folders in Binary all other folders and files in ascii. After further investigation I think the real issue with this program is it created a ".log" file on all transfers. After several attempts at turning the log feature off I found that I did not go back and double check the existing folders already uploaded. After I deleted them the image has been working fine just the background image is missing.
2. Is ImageMagick6 installed- No but my host provider is willing to install it if I provide the license and software. Don't know where to point him to?
3.checking permissions- I am on a windows 2003 box all I can say is that my control panel shows all files with the correct permissions. In fact the ubb control panel shows them all correct even though it does not check the captcha folder.

Bottom line is the captcha function appears to be working and stable now.
Should I have a concern that the two background images provided in the install do not appear?
