FTP image and display? - Post ID 153558

What I want to do is FTP images from a camera to a directory on my server and then automatically display them on a web site built with VSD, is this possible?
If yes could I do it twice, ie another cam to another directory on my website?

What would happen to the images once displayed, could I automatically delete them from the server?

Finally, could I do this via SDrive and stream instead?

Using a Stream and Power Post would be perfect for what you want to do - click the S-Drive link above to get an overview of how it all works. There's also some good info in the Support articles. ;)

Thanks Paintbrush, probably should have said that these pictures will come direct either from a pc or a video server automatically based on motion detection so therefore could come thick and fast, how would I send them to a stream apart from using FTP?

That's beyond my experience - I've never done anything with video. It seems that Streams support most common media file types:

Maybe there's someone around here who has some experience with streaming video that can help with this?

Have posted onto the SDrive forum as well, the problem I see is how do I automate the post, it isnt really a video stream as it will be jpegs but there could be a lot of them!!
