The New Photo Cart Uploader  for Windows
The Photo Cart Uploader allows you to upload images right from your computer to your Photo Cart galleries.

The Uploader  will 1) re-size your images, 2) make the additional copies Photo Cart needs, and 3) uploads the images to your Photo Cart and add the information to the database automatically.

Requirements
The Photo Cart uploader will only run on Windows computers (sorry MAC users) and needs the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 installed before it can run on your computer. This installer will check your computer for the .NET Framework and install it if required. What is the Microsoft .NET Framework?

If you don't have it installed already, you can download the Microsoft .NET Framework from here.

When the Photo Cart uploader finishes, it will see a finished page and then your gallery is ready.

 Details on FTP Remote Folder:
The Remote Folder is the folder path to where your Photo Cart / photos folder is on your website. If you were to log into your website through an FTP program, it would be the path you take to get to that folder.

For example, with most hosts that use cPanel or VDeck, the first folder you would go to is public_html . Then to your photo cart folder, then photos folder. If your Photo Cart is in a photocart folder, it would be: public_html/photocart/photos folder. If it is in a store folder, it would be public_html/store/photos

Not all hosts are the same, some might be httpdocs/photocart/photos or something different.

If you are having problems finding your remote folder, click here to view the support forum or contact your hosting company.
