Title: OS X FTP software for Auto multiple site uploading
Post by: bobkeenan on December 14, 2010, 20:32
I have been using Fetch.  Very reliable.  I upload to 7 sites, the same stuff to each one.  I used to do it serially.  Then I found out that Fetch can handle multiple uploads at the same time so now I open 7 windows and then drag and drop to each.

What would be better is to select 7 sites and have the software load them automatically to all of them.

I know there are some microstock programs that do this but some charge and others seem to not service some of the sites.... but I could be wrong.

Any ideas..... and and its got to work on a MAC

You can make simple lets say script in Automator or in Apple script depends what is easier to you.

I use a Mac and use Filezilla, I've got it set up so that once I've told it what I want to send and where I walk away and it just cracks on and does it. You can set it to upload more than one file at a time but I've found it's actually quicker to just do one at a time and when it's finished it moves onto the next file and then the next site.

I think that's what you're after.

Fetch,  what I am using now, does what you are describing.

What I am looking for is a FTP client that will do batch uploads to 7 different microstock sites of one batch of photos  (once I set up the right addresses and password).  So for example I would like to drag 10 images to the program just once.  Then walk away and have the softward automatically upload the 10 images to 7 different sites?  Does Filezilla do that?

Look you really dont listening.
open Automator application and choose predefined FTP script and drag that action many times how you want connections. Choose you Login and pass of you ftp sites if you defined them in favorites in you FTP client and drop you file in actions and press RUN and thats it.
Is it so complicated?
