For those of our clients using Apple Mac OS X 10.4 and beyond - and we know there are a lot more of you these days:

We found another way to use software you already have - Apple’s Automator - and a free downloadable action file from Peter Dekkers" website - called "Upload to FTP" - to automatically upload your image files every day. Apple users already have Applescript, of course, which is a powerful tool in the right hands, but Automator is a pretty good choice for those who’d rather not do it the hard(er) way.

You just download and install the action - very quick - tell it which folder to watch and let it go. You can run it with a click - two, actually - or schedule it with a shell script. We’ve added file filters (jpgs only!) to the version we use around here on our Macs, but let us know if you come up with something cool and automatic and we’ll post it here.

Thanks Peter!
