It all depends on the services provided by your server.

So you have to ask the administrator of your inhouse server which services are available, which credentials (login information) are required for each service, and which services provide access to the directory containing the image file using which shares.

actually i have that server pc...which is connected by LAN with my pc..

It has a network connection. That is the hardware. On the network TCP/IP can be used for communication. Based on TCP/IP there are protocols defining data transfers. To use these protocols you need a protocol specific server process and a client for the same protocol. The server process must be configured and started on the server.

But without knowing which services are running on your server, your question can't be answered.

Examples for protocols that might be used for files:
SMB / CIFS: Windows shares (built-in with Windows, Samba with Linux)
HTTP / HTTPS: Web server (e.g. Apache, IIS)
FTP: File Transfer Protocol
NFS: Network File System
AppleTalk

so what path should i put on browser to access the folder

I don't know because I don't have access to your server!

When using a browser there must be a HTTP or FTP service running on your server. If so, connect to that using
"http://ip-or-name-of-your-server/" or
"ftp://ip-or-name-of-your-server".
If that is working you might be able to navigate to the file. But it depends on the configuration of the HTTP or FTP server.

If that is not working, a HTTP or FTP service must be setup on the server. Or a service for one of the other protocols I mentioned must be setup. There might be even such a service running. But how should I know?

Again:
Ask the administrator of your server.

If you are the administrator you should learn at least the basics about how the internet works (it does not care if the server is connected by LAN or WAN) and what are TCP/IP protocols.
