I have done some major updates to my FTP It! project.
I developed this as a way to to make it easy for my daughters to upload photos of my (now ) seven grandkids. They have nice digital cameras and take good pictures. But, the photos from the cameras are HUGE when taken at maximum resolution. They both are on broadband, but have no idea about FTP protocol.
So, I made this to give them a way to get through the image resize, and FTP load process without a lot of hassle.
The Administrator Settings section can be passworded to keep anyone from seeing what it takes to get to your FTP site. It will also prevent curious users from changing the settings, thus breaking the program.
The batch resizer application bundled in this is totally royalty free and can be reproduced with no conditions applied. The Resizer settings are mainly kept in an ini file in the same directory as the .exe The Resizer will save any settings that are set in a session. Being that the FTP section needs the resized images in a particular folder, I have the application rewriting the path to the resized image folders on startup. This allows the image folder to stay the same no matter where the application is located. The other settings can be written in the same manner, but I just set them in the Resizer itself prior to building the application. It's up to you.
I am going to look at coding my own resizer in the next update.
You can use your own images, messages, and theme's to build your own custom application.
The only requirements for the Administrator/Developer is a knowledge of how the FTP protocol works, as least how to set up private accounts.
