zip files and how to create them
zip files are used to compress files (remove extra space to make them smaller), combine several files into one file, or both. For uploading files, we'll take advantage of the second use because .jpg files are already compressed so there is no or very little decrease in size after zipping them into a zip file.
To zip several files together under Windows XP or Vista, open an Explorer window to see the files, then select the ones you want to include. RIght-click to open the pop-up menu, select "Send To >" then "Compressed (zipped) Folder." A single new file will be created with the extension ".zip" that contains all the files you had selected. Upload that file using the above form.
Error Message when the file is too large
The server encountered an unexpected condition which
prevented it from fulfilling the request.
The script had an error or it did not produce any output. If
there was an error, you should be able to see it in the error log. |
If you get this message after several minutes, it's most likely because the file you tried to upload was too large. In this case, create a new zip file that contains fewer photo files and try uploading that.
