Uploading multiple product photos via non-FTP

[CookieMonster]

Hello,

I want one of my employees to upload more than one photo per product. I know how to set this up and do this using an FTP program and what I need to do with the ZenCart to make this work. However, I do not want my employee to have access to all the files on my server via the FTP program. Is there a way that I can use some type of "Browse," "Upload File" type of thing like is done with the first photo on the product but for Photos 2 & 3, as well, or must those extra product photos be uploaded to the server only via an FTP program where all files will be viewed? Please let me know.

Thanks! :-)

Search the Plugins for Image Handler 4 - that should do the trick for you

For uploading multiple files, FTP simply can't be beat. It is *designed* for that very purpose.

However, I do not want my employee to have access to all the files on my server via the FTP program.

No offence, but you are clearly not all that familiar with FTP (else you wouldn't be asking this question).

Assuming you have cPanel:

Click the icon for "FTP accounts"
In the section "Add FTP Account" add a username and password for your employee
In the "Directory" input box, enter the path to your 'images' folder.
Click the button 'Create FTP Account'

Give the username/password to your employee..

That's it. All done. Your employee will now only be able to access the /images/ folder (and its subfolders) via FTP

There simply isn't a better or easier method than this.
