Why should I use the FTP?

Updated over 5 months ago

Using FTP is the most efficient and reliable way to upload large volumes of photos to Photohawk.

Here’s why FTP is recommended:

• Faster uploads for large galleries
FTP is built to handle thousands of files at once. It’s far more stable than browser uploads and won’t slow down or fail if you’re uploading huge event galleries.

• More reliable than web upload
If your internet drops or stalls, FTP can resume where it left off. This prevents failed uploads and saves you a huge amount of time and frustration.

• Designed for high-volume photographers
If you regularly upload over 3,000 photos per event, FTP will make your workflow significantly smoother, quicker, and more professional.

• Frees up your computer
You can start an FTP upload and continue working, editing, or even leave it running overnight. There’s no need to keep a browser window open.

• Essential for fast turnaround
Because uploads finish sooner and with fewer interruptions, your galleries can go live faster — which means quicker sales and happier customers.

In short, FTP gives you speed, stability, and efficiency — making it the best option for photographers handling large events or working to tight deadlines.
