Photo sets for download
Colorado Trip - August 2008

To download photosets, it is recommended that you utilize a high speed internet connection. There are two methods for downloading photosets. You can access using either ftp or http. It is recommended that you use ftp to log into and download the photo sets, since ftp utilizes an error-checking protocol for greater reliability. But you can also use http if you prefer.

After you have downloaded a photoset to your computer, you will need to unzip the photoset. Be sure the photoset is in a directory of your choice. Then double-click on the photoset name (filename.zip) and your system should unzip the photoset into individual photo (.jpg) files.

Use your favorite photo browser to view the photos. One such browser available on MS Windows systems is the "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer". You can access it from "My Computer/Explorer" by right-clicking on an image file name (.jpg) and selecting Preview. You can then use the forward (ALT-rightarrow) and back buttons (ALT-backarrow) at the bottom of the screen to browse the photos in the photoset.

Select the download method you prefer to use:  http  or  ftp.

  1. HTTP Method

    For each photoset desired, proceed as follows:

    Mouse Right-Click on setname and select "Save Link As..."
