Aperture Plugin for FTP Uploading

I have been trying to use a trial version of UberUpload to upload files to a clients FTP site, but it simply will not connect the the server. Is there another plugin that might work?

Did you ever get this to work? I am interested in uploading web galleries via ftp from directly within Aperture to my own website and I'm searching for a solution as well.

How to disable parsing for FTP uploads?

I would like to upload documents into iFS using FTP, but I don't want them to be parsed during upload. How could I disable parsing for FTP uploads?
Thanks, Daniel.

Hi, Are you using FTP inside or outside of Firewall. We are facing problems in ifs uploading when the users are outside of the firewall. This problem does not exist if we are using port 21, but since this is a well know port, we choose to use something else.
May be you can share with us on how to configure IFS to enable ftp ( except port 21 ) outside of firewall.

Render queue waits for FTP upload

I Googled this issue and looked it up in this forum, and surprisingly found nothing.
When using the feature for automatically uploading an exported file to an FTP server, Adobe Media Encoder renders 1 file, uploads it, and meanwhile the rest of the render queue is paused. Obviously, the upload process takes almost no CPU or RAM, so I'd expect Media Encoder to continue rendering the rest of the queue in parallel to uploading.
Am I missing somehint obvious, or a bit less obvious (some hidden setting)?
In my company's production worklow, it's very common practice to send out a long render queue and simultaneously upload the completed files. Having to wait for each upload in order for the rendering to resume seems counter intuitive, basically making the FTP feature useless.
Thanks in advance

Hi Jamal:
You can disregard the Flash alerts
Your problem is that there is no content to display except for the Flash movie which is not displaying because it has not
been uploaded to the root folder.
You are also missing the "Scripts" folder with the "swfobject_modified.js" script in it.
Go forth and upload these, and you should be OK.

Iweb not showing online for FTP upload

I use Iweb all the time building sites for small business.
Recently it has started to comeback with a "internet not online message" when I want to upload files to a FTP server. FYI the same server I have loaded over 40 sites to. I then have to publish to a folder and upload through Rage SEO Tool. Which yes works fine but I am concerned there is a creeping corruption in the software. I do not want to reload the software as I do not have to rebuild all my site again. I use 3.04. and use 10.6.8 OSX.
I have Dreamweaver, Worpress, Sandvox, Coffe Cup software. Iweb is the simplest and the best for what work I do. It has some of the features of the old Adobe Golive. All the others are cumbersome. I have some site in Iweb with over 80 pages.
Finally why is Apple going to make me end up buying another company's software to do similar work like Adobe Muse???
Cheers, Dean

I do not want to reload the software as I do not have to rebuild all my site again. I use 3.04. and use 10.6.8 OSX.
His profile is out of date. I think he should reset his ftp info in iWeb and try again.

How to save a book created in Aperture 3 for future uploading for printing?

How to you save a book created in Apeture 3 to send for printing several months after creating book. I've create several books, had them printed and get request for reprints. I don't want to keep the photo files in Aperture for space considerations.

If you are printing through Apple then you have to send the order using Aperture. You could export the book as a new library and archive that to save space in the original library. Keep im mind that exporting this way will not remove the originals from the Aperture library, you will need to remove those yourself.
If you are not using Apple to print the book you would need to save whatever it was (pdf file?) that you sent to be printed the first time.

What's the best plugin for wide-angle / perspective correction

Hi guys,
I do a lot of location photography with a wide angle lens. When shooting upwards it sends the top of the building into the distance. My workflow has been to export to Photoshop for these and use the 'Transform' tools to add a little correction.
Do any of you use an aperture plugin for this and if so, would you recommend one to me?
Thanks for your help.

Well, unfortunately Flash was the universal format, and then Steve Jobs decided that he did not like Adobe. As most browsers on Earth were FLV playback enabled and if not, were only a quick, free download away. Now, it seems that Apple's devices will only work with flavors of MOV. One can still download and install Apple's QT Player (though several recent versions did not work well with Adobe programs - Steve Jobs sabotage?).
Instead of coming together on universal formats/CODEC's, it seems that many wish to fragment the market to support just their products. One is at the mercy of these hardware and software companies. Producers probably should now do several versions of everything, if they wish to cover all bases. Someone will have to download and install something.
Good luck,

Pixelpost export plugin for Aperture

I found an export plugin for Aperture to send photos to Pixelpost blogs. I'm posting this here in case someone searches the discussion forums looking for one. The link is:
http://www.pixelpost.org/extend/addons/aperture-pixelpost-plugin/
or from the developer's site:
http://www.macroni.be/index.php?x=plugin
His comments:
"APP (Aperture Pixelpost Plugin) uploads the selected picture from your Aperture library to you pixelpost blog without having to export the picture first, and then uploading it manually."
I've tested it with APP v 1.3, Aperture v 2.1.4, OS X 10.6.1, Pixelpost v 1.7.3. The plugin does work, but when you export more than one photo, they all have identical metadata information. You'll have to rename and retag in the Pixelpost control panel. The plugin also does not remember your Pixelpost login information between sessions. In spite of these problems, it is a useful plugin for us Pixelpost users.

Hey - I downloaded it and sent $ the day he put up the note EXCELLENT implementation, flawless installation and FAST uploading. Do yourself a favor if you're a Smugger. As said above, a marriage of two great products!!

What file size is used for when uploading to MobileMe from Aperture?

When I upload my photo files from Aperture (and previously from iPhoto) I routinely use the upload setting named "dowloading of optimized" files. I know that this downsizes the files for faster upload/download, but still gives a file size acceptable for great onscreen presentation and for a resulting small print of someone downloads. Can anyone tell what downsizing Aperture does in this case? For example, 50% jpeg, email sized jpeg, etc. Since Apple will kill the MobileMe galleries in June I have to switch to another photo presentation host. For upload to such a host Aperture gives choices like 100% jpeg, 50% jpeg, etc. What I want to do is end up with something similar to what I now get with the "optimized" setting. Thank you.

You will note that I referenced both programs (iPhoto & Aperture) in my original message above, and I have posted in both forums. Since both programs offer the same (at least on the surface) option of "optimized" to MobileMe galleries, one might assume that both use the same or a similar system. Lengthly testing of my own is the "best" solution only if I can not find anyone who is knowledgeable about what these programs do in the upload. It has been my sincere joy over many many years that I often find people on these forums who possess knowledge much greater than I. As to the programs changing the algorithum at any time, I doubt that since this MobileMe function will disappear in June. Seems like a strange time to make changes.

Workflow for Aperture plugins in series.

Hi there,
I have been looking for an answer to this for a few months, and can't figure it out.
I have a number of Aperture plugins, borderfx, and flickrexport being the two main.
When I have finished working on a photograph, I normally do one of three things:
1. export it to flickr.com with flickrexport, or
2. file it in the relevant project or
3. export it to a jpeg with borderfx for emailing/etc.
I have been trying, but can't see if it is possible to do the following:
1. use borderfx to put a border around the photograph then
2. export it to flickr using flickrexport
So, my question: is it possible to run a number of aperture plugins, in a series, to create a workflow, without having to export/import images?
If it requires Automator, I am proficient in creating simple workflows with it.
Any help is appreciate.
thanks
bernard
www.runningwithbulls.com/blog / www.flickr.com/photos/runningwithbulls/

As those are both export plugins, the only way you are going to be able to run them consecutively is to export using the border plugin, import the resulting images then then export the new files via flickrexport. Unless there's an image adjustment version of the border plugin?

Ftp uploader for lightroom 3 (mac)???

I have inadvertently removed my "Upload Photo" plugin for Facebook in Lightroom 5. How do I get it back?

I was having trouble uploading photos from Lightroom directly to Facebook. I thought maybe the plugin was out of date or something, so I paid for and downloaded the "Upload Photo" plugin. It's supposed to allow for direct uploads to several social media sites, not just Facebook. I followed the install instructions, followed the troubleshooting directions. Finally I "removed" it, thinking I could reinstall it. Now I can't get it back. It was supposed to have been already available in LR5. Any ideas?

Hi @kiefercreative
Well the good news is that any product you acquire with Add-ons are stood in the Cloud so even if you remove them you can always install them again from My Add-ons:
https://creative.adobe.com/addons/my_addons
In terms of your specific issue of getting the plug-in to work, its walkways best to first contact the producer and for every producer we have their contact email on their producer page so in this case it's: [email protected]
They do provide a good guide on their website. So I suggest that if you have completely removed the plug-in you first get the zip file again by installing from my Add-ons, you may need to click the Remove button first but after that you just click Install. After that follow the instructions here:
Installation | Lightroom plug-ins
Hope that helps.

I have installed hydra express plugin for Aperture many time with no success

I have installed hydra express plugin for Aperture many time with no success. When I select edit with plugin hydra, the make an HDR image with hydra appears. When I hit the process button a message states that hydra is not found. I have checked in my application support folder. There is no plugin folder for aperture or a hydra plugin.
Any help would be appreciated.

Plug-ins get installed in one of two locations.
~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/Edit
or
/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/Edit
The second is for all users of the machine and is located in the root folder of your system drive (often "Macintosh HD").
The first is your private library (note the ~ symbol which a shortcut to your user folder) and means the plugin is just for you. ~/Library is hidden by default so finder wont see it. To see it in Finder, use the menu "Go->Go to folder" and type in ~/Library as the folder name. Then you can natigate to /Application Support/ etc....
That should help you determine if it's installed. Note, you may only find an alias in the plug-in folder and the programs may actually be stored elsewhere. Also, if the Plugin can be used for export as well as edit, it might be located in /Plug-Ins rather than /Plug-Ins/Edit
In terms of why it isn't working, I think I may have a clue to what's going on. Sometimes plugins use utilitly shell commands that get distributed with the plugin. These can get quarantined by Macs Gatekeep security because they are not signed by a 'valid' developer.
I've recently taken on the task of making the old Enfuse plugin compatible with the latest version of Aperture, and ran into this gatekeep quarantine issue. I got around it by de-quarantine the required commands and got the plugin working.
For distribution, I've put an AppleScript together which installs the plugin and takes care of the quarantine issue, but I am just (literally today) tesing that on a different machine to make sure it works the same as it does on mine.
If you can first confirm that hydra is installed in one of the above locations, I'll then talk you through how to check if there is a quarantine issue with it.

How to automate a unilateral sync from Aperture to an FTP server?

+You can export multiple Projects at once:+
+1. Select the top-level *Blue Folder*, this will show all the images from all the Projects in it.+
+2. Select all the Versions.+
+3. Export, using the image export preset of your choice, and a folder-naming preset made up of 'Folder Name', '/' & 'Project Name'.+
+This will export the whole lot in one go, into a subfolder structure of 'name of *Blue Folder*'/'Name of Project'. Note that it will only take the name of the topmost *Blue Folder*, so it will only work for single-level *Blue Folder* structures.+
I want to take this one step further. My goal is to have a "mirror" of a given *Blue Folder* (with the projects and sub-folders represented as sub-directories as accomplished by the advice above) not just on my hard drive, but on a (private) FTP server. In essence, I want a significant percentage of my photo database mirrored on an FTP server. Note that this is not for backup purposes but for sharing the contents of my photo library (the portion of it that is appropriate to share--for example photos of family events, travels, etc.)
Currently my workflow is to click the *Blue Folder* that houses all of my family photos, select all versions, and export to a directory as advised above: Folder Name / Project Name. That takes a long time. Then I ftp the entire exported-directory tree to my FTP server. I try to do this cleverly by taking advantage of Yummy FTP's relatively new "sync" feature that compares my source directory tree with the destination directory tree, deletes files on the destination FTP server that aren't in the source file tree and uploads only the files in the source tree that aren't present in the destination tree (i.e. a unidirectional sync).
This works well enough, but it seems like a process that could be readily automated. Does anyone know of an Aperture plugin that can accomplish this workflow? Ubermind's plugin "UberUpload for Aperture" appears to come close, but it doesn't approximate the Project-Name/Folder-Name to directory tree conversion and it doesn't delete files on the destination FTP server, so it doesn't accomplish the unilateral sync I'm looking for.
Are there any other plug-ins I should look at; are there any other plug-ins you know of that might accomplish this task?
Thank you,
George
This is a new question but partially in response to a previous post (here --> http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1586469) that was marked answered.

Hmm, that's a possibility, made a little more difficult by the fact that I don't know how to write Applescript. I understand that it's not too difficult to pick up, but that will add to the time required to figure this out (especially if there's no documentation for calls to Aperture--is there really no documentation?). The simplest way to do this with Applescript would probably be to run a script that exports my library of photographs into a file structure as described above, then runs the sync commands available through YummyFTP, and finally deletes the exported files off my hard drive. The major drawbacks to this approach include the long time required for export (and sync if there are a large number of changes) and the need to have a significant amount of free hard drive space (probably 10 gigs in my case) which could be potentially be a problem if one were running low on disk space.

Help with ftp upload problem

Hi I am using a ftp class (known as FTPConnection) that i found on this site: http://www.nsftools.com/tips/JavaFtp.htm , and they only have an example of how to download a File through FTP and not upload one. I am in the proccess of making an FTP upload applet, and need some help on getting upload to work. I also need it to work on both a Pc and mac, so that may be attributing to the problem becuase i am currently on a mac which uses file:// instead of C:\\. Ill post the ftp class, and a snippet of my code that tries to upload a selected file.

* need more flexibility, you can execute commands directly using the methods
* <a href="#executeCommand(java.lang.String)">executeCommand</a> and
* <a href="#executeDataCommand(java.lang.String,
* java.io.OutputStream)">executeDataCommand</a>,
* the latter of which is used for commands that require an open data port.

ok i tried explaining th eproblem in the previous post, but i apologize if my explanation was poor. anyways, i tried to look into it further by doing a printStackTrace() and believe it may be a read error. here is my new updated snippet, and also a link to a screenshot ([click here for screenshot|http://img143.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture4qr0.png]) of what the error looks like on my end. it seems like a socket is not being read, or maybe it is initialized properly. Again I apologize if my problem is vague, but I do appreciate your input. thanks.
