help needed - bulk uploading from Linux?

mpmcleod · April 22, 2006

I need to load 30K+ photos from my current Linux (Redhat WS 4) webserver at the office to smugmug. I have T3+ connection to the internet from this machine so bandwidth is not an issue.

Does anyone know of software that will allow me to do this?

sm_tool.py (the python software) was my first choice but it seems to have a problem. It loads about 20 very fast and then it slows way down. Overnight it only uploaded ~500 pics. This is worse than sendtosmugmug from my home WinXP machine which is on a DSL line.

What are the other alternatives to upload in bulk?

Hi Mike,

I have a beta extension for Firefox that may be useful. It's been awhile since I tested it on Linux, but if ur interested, send me a PM.

This is a very nice extension but won't solve my problem of uploading 30,000 photos at once.

Certainly someone else has had to deal with this before?

thanks for any help out there!

this is what you need. I assume you have python on your system. you can mirror an entire directory tree on smugmug!
