It is file transfer protocol. If you have an FTP program, you transfer photo files in the same way that you transfer any other files, just click and drag to the folder you want to upload them to. Or is it one of those sites where you do it through the web browser?

its one of the sites through the web browser. Dh is based in Gibraltar and his office is in London. Its a nightmare, ive had to change all my security settings just to get on to the blasted thing.

What do you see on screen? There should be a way for you to locate a file on your machine in order to upload it. They vary - if you describe it I might be able to tell!

the ftp I used worked on drag and drop.

OK, hopefully you can click on the photo file at the top of the list, then, holding the shift key down, click on the bottom file - that should highlight them all at once ...

spacedonkey · 15/09/2005 17:22

is there a right-hand pane?
is there a button saying "upload"?

It is just my normal photo page but for some reason. It looks like its ready for a slide show

OP posts:
spacedonkey · 15/09/2005 17:28

oh dear. I don't know what your normal photo page is though! What does it say in the bar right at the top? i.e. what program are you in
