Here is a little customizable FTP image uploader project.
I created it to give my daughters an easy way to upload pictures to my FTP server for me to download.
It can be customized for the end user by the Designer.
It allows an inexperienced user to upload images to a specific FTP server, Private or otherwise. The FTP account information will be set by the Administrator (who may also be the Designer).
It has a right click tray menu, a changeable About dialog, Email notification that there are files available in the account folder, and a real Help.
After the Administrator has made the FTP account settings, the settings page can only be accessed from the tray menu. As the Designer/Administrator, if you don't want the end user to access the FTP settings, disable the page jump from the tray menu (function is in Global) and give a dialog that it is inaccessible to the user.
It also includes a very easy to use, third party freeware application, that resizes/converts images. This is used in such a manner to give the end user a way to prepare their images prior to uploading. My daughters have new digital cameras and their pictures are usually in 2048 resolution, not very conducive to uploading/downloading. The application will save the prior settings, so run it once to set it up and it will hold your desired settings for the end user.
The application is called High Quality Image Resizer produced by Naturpic Software. They have given permission for this software to be unlimited in distribution. You can see the permission here (http://www.naturpic.com/contact.htm). Scroll to the bottom and read About Distributing Trial Version.
The FTP settings are encrypted, and are decrypted to a randomly generated temp folder and immediately deleted after the variables have been written. Very hard to capture.
There is more, so look at ALL the Events for actions. And be sure to read the help.
There is no advertising in this project except one link in the image application. Change it as much as you want. If you add a feature, please share it.
