RE: Publishing to IPFS

[moderators]

What am I doing wrong ?

$ ipfs daemon
$ ipfs add -r /Users/m/Desktop/img_test 

added QmcDQDePjtXyS28aRFHuSXBiGifcL8jdihhDvvt3nteYww img_test/IMG_8831.jpg
added QmeT1dXQsGVGDgt5A2vQLDbMS4sPr1KsZG3vBKGnANRvtM img_test/IMG_8834.jpg
added QmbAqf4gCDqJAaWN5ZfaMz4yoBEkL2Z9ivcusHy8wpXTbA img_test

$ ipfs name publish QmbAqf4gCDqJAaWN5ZfaMz4yoBEkL2Z9ivcusHy8wpXTbA img_test
Error: Unknown Command "QmbAqf4gCDqJAaWN5ZfaMz4yoBEkL2Z9ivcusHy8wpXTbA"

you don't need to specify a path:
ipfs name publish QmbAqf4gCDqJAaWN5ZfaMz4yoBEkL2Z9ivcusHy8wpXTbA

just
$ ipfs name publish img_test ?

ps: can i create directory ?

Nope, as I written above, no directory name, just the hash of it.
When you publish, you specify exactly one hash.
If you want directories, put them in the tree: example:

mkdir -p a/b/c
echo hello > a/b/c/hello.txt
ipfs add -r a
… SOMEHASH
ipfs name publish SOMEHASH

you will then find the CONTENT of a (note that the name of a will not appear anywhere): so you will find the directory b, which includes the directory c, which includes hello.txt
if you modify the content of a, just add it again, and publish the new hash.
