PLEASE NOTE - ALAMY LIVE NEWS REQUIRE A CHANGE TO THE WAY YOU FTP IMAGES TO US Hi, Alamy Live News are making a change to the way we receive images from you via FTP. Could you please adjust the FTP host as follows: Current Host name: upload.alamy.com New Host name: newsupload.alamy.com User name & password stay the same. Please confirm this has been done by replying to this message. Many thanks, Neil Porter Alamy News Team This should have been sent to everyone who uploads news images, but at the moment I am getting many "Sorry, we've encountered an unexpected error" messages or 404's that I wouldn't bother uploading anything anyway.

Download it now and they'll catch QC for tomorrow. Credentials here. There's a bit of a learning curve but it's quite easy to negotiate without crampons. http://www.alamy.com/contributor/how-to-sell-images/how-do-i-send-you-my-stock-images/ Excuse me for being a bit dim but having downloaded Filezilla I then uploaded a few images to Alamy which appeared to be uploaded fine according to Filezilla so I then clicked on the disconnect server button. Checked Alamy Image Manager but they are nowhere to be seen - do they not appear there if using FTP? Normally there is a greyed out image saying in QC or something similar.

spacecadet Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Unlike with the web uploader, images uploaded with FTP take a while to arrive. I usually wait an hour or so. It's no loss because of course the tags won't be updated for a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Clarke Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Thanks! Seems counterintuitive doesn't it - fast to upload but slow to appear. Hey-ho, no worries. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 When you use the uploader (which I did for the first and, I hope, last time the other day, the images show as "processing" straight away. This is what you miss in FTP but there's still a delay- I assume this is while all the various previews being generated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
