Ok my friend is going to Asia for 30 days, and although she isn't much of a photographer, she will take lots of exotic location pics, that I want to see.
She also is very prone to losing camera equipment, especially memory cards full of pictures.
SO I convinced her to stop in at internet cafe's and upload the pics she has taken incrementally.

NOW the problem is, whats the most foolproof way to accomplish this?

I have a domain and rock solid hosting, so if I can install an applet or something that would work. Otherwise things like Flickr and Pbase you don't get the storage space needed to dump full resolution files.

Advice? (Pic unrelated, but taken by me)

Without her own computer to really do anything on, the best solution would be if both of you started a photobucket account. She would email whenever she ups anything and then you can copy them and delete them off the site. Unlike flikr, photobucket won't shut down because you uploaded to much, and wont ask you to down the size any

Although if you pay for a pro account, you can upload anything you want on flickr.
That photobucket idea sounds good though.

it appears without upgrading to pro though that you have to limit your pic size to 1024 x 768. And the bulk uploader is very CPU intensive (I'm thinking worst case scenario, aka Internet Cafe's with like 666mhz processors.)

Unless she shoots in Jpeg, you'd be shit out of luck with those hosts. Why not she just pops in to an internet cafe, burn 2 dvds of images for that day, and keep 1 in her travel documents bag, and send 1 home in the mail. Much better solution i think. Because you won't know how fast the connection is over there.

if the connection is decent at the cafe you could just set up an ftp account for her and give her instructions on how to connect to it using IE or something and just have her drag/drop the photos onto your server

I'm not very proficient in FTP, I have an FTP account for uploading files, BUT it needs a standalone client.
got any links for how to upload files over FTP with IE?

instead of putting ftp://whatever.host.com into a standalone ftp program, put that into IE. if it uses a port other than 21, then ftp://whatever.host.com::port. then it prompts for user/pass and then its like any other explorer window. you can drag/drop files to from the window.

Oh wait figured it out, I was using firefox and in IE its much simpler to upload
