This post is just going to be a very quick How To configure sending images to an FTP server.,
I mentioned previously that the key to this app are the Actions and this is where we need to head to configure sending. Use the gear icon in the collection to access then click Edit.
Create a new task

Name it then click + at add a task

The only task we are going to add (at this stage) is to Export to a Location

Next the list of available locations are listed. (So we can define a number of locations – have listed a number of agencies, folders etc). Click Edit to create a new one and the green + next to FTP.


Enter the FTP details required (probably provided by the agency, client etc).

Note we can configure particular processes to happen as part of the sending task for example sending a re-sized version of the image or kicking off additional tasks if the send was successful.


The next post will put the metadata and sending posts into an action that handles the image as it arrives in ShutterSnitch.
I look forward to your comments.
Hi – thanks so much – great blog content! I’m a long time Shuttersnitch user but so far just for client (or my) previews on the job. I may have a use for having previews sent to a server for clients to view remotely, so will investigate this in conjunction with your posts… thanks for reminding me of the possibilities and steering me in the right direction. Cheers
