RightLoad, FTP Upload never been easier
If you own a web server or have been working with it, you must have been using some kind of FTP client to make your jobs done and your life easier. While full featured FTP client very useful for managing your FTP server and files, it is RightLoad come in handy when the situation is you just want to upload a small quantity of documents or images.
What is RightLoad?
RightLoad is a small program that allows you to quickly upload files directly from a Windows folder to your server. Instead of using a complicated FTP client just to upload a few pictures, you just right-click on the files, select the server and target folder and RightLoad will do the rest for you. When all files have been uploaded, RightLoad will automatically generate a list of different links to the files, ready to be copied into your post or website. [source: official RightLoad website]
How RightLoad work
Right is a context based application, that’s mean the best way of using it is by accessing to trough context menu (or mostly known as right click), but you still can run it the normal way by double clicking its icon and do drag and drop to start transfer.
As you can see from the screenshot above, this is how we access RightLoad most of the time. You can select one file, multiple files, or even folder to upload.
When you first launch RightLoad, you will be prompted to fill a FTP account that will be used as default account. You can setup as many servers as you want and for each server you can also setup as many folders as you want under that specific server (like my screenshot above).
What make it different from normal FTP client?
The feature I love the most is it will format from FTP format to HTTP format. For example, let say you upload a file name logo.jpg to folder temporary, when uploaded you will get FTP format URL such as ftp://user:password@ftp.kuntau.net/public_html/temporary/logo.jpg then if you want to share whatever you uploaded with others you have to reformat the URL to http://kuntau.net/temporary/logo.jpg format, so they can view the document properly and for you not to reveal your login also!
What RightLoad do for you is, it will automatically do the formatting for you and pre-highlighted it on upload complete so what only left for you is pressing ctrl + c to copy the URL.
As you can see from screenshot above also, it come predefined with several common tags for forum and website use such as [URL] tag, [IMG] tag, <a> and <img>. When you click any of this tag, the links on the left side will be converted to corresponding tag.
Another handy feature included is it will automatically detect if you are uploading image and it will offer you to create thumbnail for easy posting on website or forum. You can also specify default thumbnail size in the options menu.
That is what I can review about this marvelous tiny but useful freeware. If you are interested visit its download page and experience it yourself, it is free; nothing to lose on your side.
