Ideas for Arc XP

SFTP photos into Photo Center

It would be great to be able to create and manage SFTP users within Photo Center to upload photos into Arc. An extra bonus would be to be able to upload photos to a given Photo Center Template, so we can make use of restrictions and auto-filled fields. Or perhaps some other means of SFTP-ing photos into Photo Center.

    Yes, we are interested in this too. Our photographers utilize Photo Mechanic as well (as do a large number of photogs) and to be able to send directly to an FTP is a huge workflow ease. In addition, most cameras can now send to an FTP directly from the field, so we would like to be able to access images in PhotoCenter as our photographer sends them from breaking news and other fast moving events.

    We would love this, too.

    In our newsrooms, our staff photographers use Photo Mechanic, which is a contact sheet/ftp upload program to organize, tag with metadata and send photos to our legacy photo library.  It would be great if they would be able to have a similar workflow where they have a username/password to enter into Photo Mechanic so they could send their photos directly into Photo Center.

    Hi Diana - can you elaborate on "Or some other means of SFTP-ing photos into Photo Center." Thanks!
