I don't think anyone has pointed out there are two ways of using an FTP [File Transfer Protocol] server - your machine or theirs! I believe your original question on EPUK assumed you would be sending images to a client's server. I which case you need to know the address of the server on which you will place your images, have a username and password. Your client should supply you with this, something along the lines of ftp.bigpublisher.co.uk - username: photographer password: secret. You need an FTP application, Fetch (I use) and Transmit have been mentioned as examples. An alternative method is to place the images on your own server and allow your client to download from there. Its the same process for you, you upload the images to a location on your server having created a username and password for your client. You can then email them with the address of your server. An advantage to this method is that you can allow a number of clients to download images but you only have to upload once. Having your own FTP server is as easy as having your own website. On the other hand I've stopped being amazed by the number of 'professional' photographers who use free or cheap hosting. You will need a host who allows more than one FTP login so expect to have to pay for that. I don't think ntlworld will do this! ;) >I'm using this list because I know techie queries always attract >the attention of the bat wielding moderator on the epuk list.
