Uploading your pictures to our FTP server

 

Browser: The address to the FTP server is: ftp://mfp.servepics.com if you are using your browser. Make sure passive ftp is turned OFF in your options. If you are using internet Explorer, go into tools, internet options, advanced, 3rd from the bottom of the browsing list, turn off passive ftp.

 

FTP Program: I recommend you use an FTP program. Click this link to download FileZilla. This program is FREE and SAFE to download and install. http://www.yboreye.com/myfavoritepicture/FileZilla_2_2_13a_setup.exe

When the program comes up on the screen you can enter mfp.servepics.com for the server address. Enter your user name and password then connect.

Once Logged In:

1> Create a folder on the server like this example:   ANIMALS

2> Create another folder inside ANIMALS based on the date the pictures were taken like this example: 09-27-05.

 

Example:  

 

YOUR-FOLDER-ON-SERVER-

                                                |

                                                 ANIMALS -  

                                                                |

                                                 09-27-05

                                                                     09-28-05

                                                                     animal-logo.jpg

                                       

When you log into the server you will see an example you can follow. Put a new LOGO for each category. Don’t forget to put a picture of yourself or logo in the root folder for your main picture page logo as well.

 

Once you have practice, you can have everything organized prior to logging into the server, and then you can transfer the whole folder or batch over at once. If a transfer stops before it's finished, you can use the resume option. You can not delete anything on our server, only put things there. So if something goes wrong, don’t panic, just make another folder like 09-13-05a , 09-13-05b, and so on.  I will clean it up later.

 

E-Mail Us: After you upload your pictures, send e-mail so we know you have new pictures waiting on the server.   rick@yboreye.com

 

Advertising Your Page: It’s up to you to advertise your picture page. It is recommended that you hand out business cards when you take the pictures so that people can find them on your page.

What To Post:  If you take pictures of a bear, I doubt the bear will order any of them. Therefore, we encourage people to submit pictures of interest to potential buyers. You are welcome to submit whatever pictures you like as long as there is no nudity or profanity.
