You shouldn't use characters like space, å, ä, ö, comma etc, in your file- and folder names. This because not all web browsers (language specific OS) support them and therefor it might be impossible for a user to even see your images. This is probably the reason why the ftp plugin for LR won't work. Name the folders and files and replace those characters with compatible ones... Å & Ä becomes A, Ö becomes O. "space" becomes _ and so on. Hi Hannu.

Anything you could do to fix that? Hi,

However, it would be nice if ftp is available also in Publish Connection services (like HardDrive or SmugMug or Flicker is). In that way LH manage the information about what pictures needs to be published or republished after beeing updated. Do you believe, you can extend this plugin for also this functionality? Thanks, Peter Pierre,

Depending on what OS (win/mac) you're running I think you could do a macro for that. Ex. Export images to a specific folder that is being scanned by a macro that executes a command to zip the files and finally upload them by FTP. Not sure how to do it but I think it's possible. On mac... try searching Google for automator ftp scripts. Not sure what software to use for windows though. Hi Amir,

Passive mode works fine with my website account, but a client uses an FTP-server that only accepts active mode (they say they can't change this). I tried Aperture with Überupload, but this also refuses to upload. Only a ftp-client seems to work with that FTP-server. I asked for the full path to the specific folder I need to upload my photos, but haven't had an answer from them. I'll contact the people from überupload to see if they know what's going on...
