6.4.1 Choosing Upload Method

Fotki suggests a variety of uploading methods:

  • Java Applet is extremely convenient and allows uploading multiple files. It was specifically designed by the Fotki programming team to simplify the upload process as much as possible; Java Applet supports firewalls, proxies and does not require any computer proficiency.
    Java Applet works in any environment: Windows, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Linux or Solaris. Important! To run Java Applet, you need to have Java installed on your computer. To download its latest version (it is free), go to www.java.com.
  • Windows XP Publishing Wizard is meant for Windows XP users and needs the FotkiXP application to be installed.
  • Fotki Upload Bookmarklet Fetcher is for quick and easy fetching images from the web directly to Fotki albums. Important! Fotki Upload Bookmarklet Fetcher works with Mozilla, Firefox and Opera browsers. Safari and Internet Explorer are not supported yet.
  • Fetching from Another Internet Site. To upload an image from another internet site, you don't need to first download it to your computer. If you know the URL address of a picture, you can send it directly to Fotki.
  • Any FTP (File Transfer Protocol) Client (for Premium members only). It is a fast, easy and reliable way to move files from one location to another. FTP is also useful when uploading files from local computer to Fotki. Server address: ftp.fotki.com. For Windows, we recommend to download a free SmartFTP, and for Macintosh a 15-day free trial of Fetch FTP client. Important! Internet Explorer FTP mode is not supported.
  • Uploading photos via e-mail or from mobile phone. This uploading method is mainly meant for sending photos to Fotki website from mobile phones.
  • CompuPic is an easy-to-use, fast and powerful digital content manager for uploading and managing any number of photos. Its free trial is available at www.compupic.com.
  • Spb Imageer for Pocket PC Devices is a very powerful imaging engine designed specifically to streamline common processes that Pocket PC users perform with digital photos. It has a wizard to post your photos to the web at Fotki. Its free trial is available at www.spbsoftwarehouse.com. See a sample album published on Fotki using Spb Imageer here.
  • Uploading One Photo at a Time. This method works for any computer, operating system and browser, but it is inconvenient when uploading a large number of files.
