Title: Uploading issues
Post by: Noedelhap on January 17, 2014, 09:58

Lo and behold, Istock manages to screw something up again.

All of a sudden, upload is broken.

And this message from Lobo is hilarious:
"We only provide FTP uploads for Video. We haven't ever provided FTP for the other file types. I have no idea why we haven't ever considered FTP for photo but I'm sure there is a good enough reason considering we haven't had the option thus far."

Every other microstock site has FTP, but iStock has a "good enough reason" not to use it  ::) (Failing IT department, perhaps.)

Maybe "good enough for Lobo" could be their new tagline.

I was finally able to upload using Deep Meta yesterday. I upload videos via FTP which seemed to work, however when I went to edit and submit them it took 3 tries each video...meaning I had to redo all the metadata each try. Was a pain.

No more uploading for me. Waiting for support to confirm my ticket.
