3. Adding the account in your FTP client
Create a new FTP account with:
Host: upload.dreamstime.com
Server type: FTP
Logon type: Normal (make sure it is not set as Anonymous)
User: [this will be your DT account ID - in digits]
Password: [your Dreamstime account password]

The connection can be saved so later you don't need to re-enter everything.

But for now don't close this window yet. Click on "Advanced..." button.

4. Configuring your FTP client
Select the transfer mode as "Passive" and then click OK. Now you can either click "Connect" and enter your account, or "Save and Exit" which will save the session and not open the account.

We'll click "Connect", and move on to step 5.

5. Uploading files
If you can see this window, you have successfully configured your FTP client and entered the account.

The left panel shows files on your disk, while the one on the right shows files that you uploaded in your account. The right panel is empty of course, since you did not upload anything yet.

In order to upload files, just select them in your left panel and either right click the selection and then "Upload" in the menu, or just drag them over in the right panel.

The files will be queued for download in the lower panel, which will show the progress of the upload. After all files have been uploaded, you will see them in the right panell. You can now go to the Unfinished section in your account and finish the submission process.

If after a couple of minutes they disappear it means the system moved them into the Unfinished section, which is an automatic process. Don't attempt to re-upload the files before checking if they are in the Unfinished section, as you will generate duplicates.


6. Congrats! You're done!
