50 mb of pictures to put on the web... fastest and easiest way to do it

[hoodedrat]

Alright I've got a ton of pictures I took with my digital camera, and my cable company gives me 60mb of free web space, I have 50mb of pictures to put up... what would be the quickest and easiest way of doing this, any suggestions welcome please, thanks, oh yeah and I might mention i'd like it to be so that they can view the thumb nails of all the pics and then click on one they want to enlarge it

Many cable companies provide an FTP program to download and use for your uploading. If not pick up any one of the easy to use FTP programs such as Cute FTP or WSFTP-Pro.

FTP is the easy part :)

I think he wants some website photo gallery software - try these links - I think most of 'em are freeware

good luck but be careful with all them pics - you're girlfriend (wife) could end up superimposed on someone else's naked - well - never mind....... :eek:

I use HTML to create a thumbnail gallery. You just reduce the size of the picture to thumbnail size and use it to create a link to the full sized picture. If you don't know how to use HTML then you will need to use some kind of photo software that will do the job for you. I've heard MSN has a free tool for that but I don't have a link. I still do it the old fashioned way.

well I would do ftp, but I cannot figure out how to let people connect to it, my stupid firewall blocks it and wont let anyone connect and I have no idea how to set it up so that people can :(

actually now that i'm here again trying to figure this ftp stuff out again, let me be more specific as to what i dont understand.. I posted about this ftp stuff before and I got a program called guildftp and I can setup the ftp for the lan users, but I have no idea how to do it for interenet users, my router takes the single IP address from the cable modem and then dhcp to my roomate and I, and I have no clue on what to do after I know the routers IP address, and what I have to do for unblocking ports and stuff, is there going to be any way to set this up with my current setup, any help appreciated :),

dont know if this will affect anything but the router is being used as a gateway :rolleyes:

There is a graphic file viewer/editor that will create the thumbnail html and thumbnails themselfs IrfanView32 (http://www.irfanview.com/) is freeware and very easy to use:

put the photos into a folder
use the thumbnail option in the file menu to open that folder
and the software does the rest

then upload the folders contents.
