Upload Content
The quickest and easiest way to upload images to your PressFoto Portfolio is an FTP-client. Why do we choose FTP?Because of its undeniable advantages:
- Higher speed in comparison with HTTP (upload via browser);
- Broken download resume option in case the connection is lost.
Connection settings
| Server | ftp://submit.pressfoto.ru |
|---|---|
| Login | (Your username to log-in to your personal account at submit.pressfoto.ru) |
| Password | use the password associated with your PressFoto Account |
| Mode | any |
Any FTP-client will do. In case you don’t have one on your PC, install a free version:
- FileZilla http://filezilla.ru/get/ (Windows, Mac OS)
- Smart FTP http://www.smartftp.com/
All FTP-clients function the same way. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to set up an FTP-client, for example, FileZilla:
- Choose “File” and then “Site Manager” in the menu at the top.
- Click “New site” in the popped up window.
- Type in the information to access the server:
Host: ftp://submit.pressfoto.ru
Login: your username to log-in to your personal account at submit.pressfoto.ru
Password: the password you use to log-in to your personal account at submit.pressfoto.ru
Click “Connect”
- Use the drag-n-drop function to drag the images and drop them in the popped up FTP-server window (sometimes images need to be selected from the FTP-client catalogue).
- The upload process takes time.
- Successfully uploaded files appear in the window.
- From this moment on your files are in the data processor which checks their sizes and other tech specs.
After a while the images will appear in your personal account at http://submit.pressfoto.ru/, in your Portfolio under the Pending tab. You need to attach metadata and model releases (if necessary) to each photograph.
