Do you use ftp / database software to upload your files to multiple sites?
Susan:
Hi everyone I have a small question.
Do you use ftp / database software to upload your files? I am looking at Cushystock right now, has anyone else used this software and if so do you find it useful. Have you found any better options?

Here's my story...
I've been using FileZilla for a long time to upload single files and large batches via FTP. It's the best FTP client ever, but it doesn't allow making a job for uploading files to a set of servers with one click. So, I found another great software, FTPRush, which allows scripting. And I organized a one-click upload of a batch of files to a set of serves.
Here's the scheme:
1. I created a folder "To send" in my portfolio folder. All the files to upload go to this folder.
2. I set up all needed servers in FTPRush. Each server gets it's name, i.e. Fotolia, Shutter, etc.
3. I wrote the script which uploads all the files from "to send" folder to all servers one after another:
RushApp.FTP.Transfer(0, '', 'C:\Documents and Settings\Shur23\Рабочий стол\PhotoStock\new\to send', '', 'Dreamstime;Shutter;Stockxpert;123RF;Fotolia;Crestock;Bigstock;Canstock;Albumo', '/', '', RS_UP or RS_DIRDES or RS_DIRSRC or RS_APPEND or RS_LOGOUT, '', '', '', '', '', 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
And the workflow is:
1. Put all files to the "to send" folder
2. Run the script
3. Check if there are failed uploads
However, I continue using FileZilla for uploading to a single server, as it's much more comfortable.
DNF-Style:
We upload every batch above 3 with FTP. Easier to control with the FTP program then having to check all agencies one by one to see if al have been delivered. Mostly we do it overnight so we won't be interfered when surfing ourselves.
For Istock we use "Lightstock" which allows to work ahead on title, descriptions, keys, categories and Modelreleases. Much much better the the online business without any FTP possibility.
We will have a look at the mentioned program.
