Auto upload of pictures to ftp

[LincKraker]

Features
- upload last picture taken with camera to FTP
- take pictures every X secs
- set name of picture on the ftp side with option to replace the current picture or add a number to the file name

I plan on using it to upload the last picture taken with my camera to a blog or website. I had an app on my WM phone before switching.

yes please please make this app!

or does anyone know an exitsting app that does this?

Simply, define a location which stored images are to be uploaded.

Have a service running in the background which identifies images not uploaded and upload them.

Here are a couple of links to get you started:

Data Storage | Android Developers
Java FTP Examples Source Code

If you have time to help, here is my code:

I plan on using it to upload the last picture taken with my camera to a blog or website. I had an app on my WM phone before switching.

Foldersync works pretty well. The photos taken on our phones are auto named by date and time, so I haven't needed that feature. If the option isn't there, there may be a separate app for such auto renaming.

Also, you may only need the lite version of Foldersync. Hope that helps!
