# Uploading by FTP

DPG allows you to upload images into the system via FTP. This can be useful when uploading a large number of images, uploading over an unstable internet connection or working collaboratively with multiple photographers who don't have their own DPG accounts.

On the **Upload** screen, open the **FTP users** panel. Select **new** in the **Account** dropdown. Enter the name of your user and choose the set destination for their uploads.

Enter the **Server**, **Port**, **Username** and **Password** details as shown under their account and click connect. You should now be ready to drag your images into the FTP client and upload them. 

### Sending details to user

If you're setting up an FTP account for someone else, or just want to have the details for reference, add an email address to the user in the **Contact email** field. 

Click **Update** and you will now see *Send details to EMAIL* underneath their details. Click on this to send an automatically generated email to the user.
