You transfer them, using an ftp program, into a suitable directory
(usually)
on the server carrying your web site. F'rinstance, I have a sort'v
standard
set-up for my sites with directories called -
images_site
images_front_page
images_departments
images_products
etc
(I use that nomenclature because it keeps similar directories together.)
Your tag then becomes -
<a href="images_front_page/felines.html"><img src="cat.jpg" ...></a>
