ftp:ing a gallery
« on: November 14, 2009, 12:50:35 PM »
I have a trial copy of Photo Mechanic for Mac. My iMac is the next most recent one, 20", purchased in September; the OS is Snow Leopard.

  I think PM Classic is a wonderfully flexible gallery program, but I have not been able to figure out
how to ftp a whole gallery, with its tree structure and links intact. Images and pages work fine, thumbs too (but separately);
 styles and index, no, they're grayed and  have to go through the terminal ftp - and in the  end the browser shows only the pages, no images.
It's faster, although tedious, to work in terminal only, and the result is correct.

There MUST be some simple way to ftp a
whole gallery, as there is in Photoshop Elements 8 (which, however, suffers from other, serious, shortcomings).
But I don't find it in the manual.

PM doesn't offer the option of FPT-ing the generated gallery. PM's FTP capabilites at the moment are limited to uploading images only (no galleries, no folder structure) with the FTP command.
If you would like PM FTP capabilities to be extended in a way to offer upload option for the generated galleries, please feel free to support this request in this thread of the forum:

At the moment you can do this only with some 3rd party FTP application like Transmit, CyberDuck or the two panel file manager application ForkLift. After you uploaded the gallery as a whole to the FTP it should work fine on the web.
Working on Mac, OSX, iOS and with some Canons.
Allways shooting RAW.
