You can upload them using FTP

BUT if they are product images you still have to define/link them in the admin to the product

Hi, what I did was zip all the images and upload the zips to the "images" folder (and then unzip them of course..)

When your image and product names are logic.
Then you can put the image name in the box:
"Or, select an existing image file from server, filename:"

Works a lot faster.

FTP - Consult your FTP client docs

Linking - is what you specify as the image when adding/editing a product

Can you give me more information on how you uploaded your images in a zipped folder?

On my host site it appears like I can only upload 1 image at a time.

But I could be looking in the wrong place.

Can you recommend a zip program to me as I don't have one?

Forget zipping. If you're gonna get new tools, use FTP. Your hosting company can provide the guidance you need for that.
