how to insert images into product description?

after upgrading to 1.3.9 ages ago i had to remove FCKeditor as this didn't work correctly with 1.3.9 and php5

since this was the case i installed CKeditor

only problem with CKeditor is that it doesn't have an image upload option to add image directly into the body text without having to FTP images first.... This is a pain having to trin staff how to FTP and its a security issue as they can delete anything and get hold of my config files etc....

need a way round this as i have 2000 products to add to my site in january and i will be employing a temp to do this.

any help?

To address the security issue, create a FTP account to only the images directory

Maintain current images dir backups

yeah i thought about that but would prefure a wysiwyg editor that allows the uploads... less trainging to give to the temp less of my time used up so i can continue to run the bussiness and deal with questions
