Default Fao all - Photobucket top tip !!!!! Read here ------->

Brom posted last night asking how to download loads of pictures from photobucket at a time. I found this in their FAQ which I find extremely useful, particularly when uploading loads of pictures at a time.

Photobucket has an FTP server which enables you to bypass their web front end for upload/download, extract from photobucket FAQ below

A: The photobucket ftp server is ftp.photobucket.com.

Q: Can I ftp using an web browser?
A: Most web browsers support this syntax: ftp://usernameassword@ftp.photobucket.com

Q: When I access photobucket via ftp it seems to just hang and do nothing?
A: The photobucket ftp server supports both active and passive mode ftp conenctions. If your having problems your most likely behind a firewall or other device that is blocking you. Please use a passive conenction in this case. Passive ftp can be enabled in Windows Internet Explorer by going to Tools -> Advanced -> Use Passive FTP.
you can use internet explorer for FTP, but I prefer to use an FTP client which is much better. A free and fully functional one can be found here:

If you need more help, let me know and I'll try and do a little tutorial thingy
