**content upload**

[johnciacci]

I am uploading content for our new website right now, the programmer wrote a php backend admin for this; when i create new galleries i have to first create the model and then create a new gallery, once that is done can upload the gallery pics.

the problem is that i'm uploading 832mb tonight. gallery 032-050, tomorrow
the internet connection is kind of shit. its 3-4 mb but keeps timing out; is there a better way like my friend said upload a zip file or everything and then uncompressed everything on the ftp server!?!?! less strain on the ftp server; i'm using fetch. it just seems like a pain in the GFY to have to do it this way; i don't want to show up tomorrow and have a timeout.

also with aperture i cannot seem to do batch rename and resize so i created an automator script that does that for me so i can work on the thumbs in photoshop when the batch is going is there an easier way?

the third thing is when i submit my site to ccbill, do they have any special requirements for logging in? or can we just design it they way we want? i do not wannt to burden them with to many questions, i have about 78 sets processed and uploading and another 100 to go.

that's all for now.

What host do you use? They should be able to help you.

Why are you using fetch? FTP can resume the files.. You could use winrar and split an entire archive up..

im a unix network administrator at work, so i can give you a hand if you need it, email me [email protected]

the hosting is somewhere in slovenia and i'm on a mac so i'm using fetch for now. i was able to just adjust the setting maximum upload 2, add the rest to queue, and server timeout/busy set to the maximum.

it takes all day (4-6 hours) to upload 832mb but this didn't time out.
my friend did say the same thing though, just compress the entire archive & upload it,
that way there's less strain on the FTP server. I'll try it for galleries 79-144.

i'll email if i need so help, cheers.

Why are you hosting out of Slovenia?

I suggest switching to a proper host.

Slovenia is where my boss is from, he chose this hosting, are there any better hosts in the EU/US? They are not so bad, we have unlimited space/bandw/email/ftp etc/php/perl. it doesn't have Symfony but it can be installed.

it seems to work better when I limit my uploads to Max 2. All we need now is higher internet bandwidth.

I suggest switching to a proper host.
