Phil Pendlebury has written a really handy little tool for quickly uploading files from Windows Explorer, and he’s built it using Macro Scheduler.

With his FTP Uploader tool installed you can right click on any file and select Send To->FTP Uploader to quickly upload it to any FTP site.

It will remember the FTP server settings for you and you can choose which FTP settings to use. If the uploaded file has a public web URL the tool will also create the URL for you and put it on the clipboard. Handy for sending people links to file, or uploading images and other files for use in forums.

You can download the tool and get the source code here.

I’m often uploading files to our FTP server to send to people, instead of relying on Email attachments. This tool will make short shrift of that. Thanks Phil!

As you probably know, we’re running a T-Shirt design contest where you could win an Amazon Kindle worth $259.

Some people have had problems sending us a link to their T-Shirt design so I checked it out and found that the process for getting a public link to your shirt is not particularly obvious. So I thought I’d post instructions for the easiest way to do it:

• Customize the design. Click here to view the T-shirt and then click the Customize button.
• When you’re done click on “Email” which is beneath the right-hand box, underneath the Add to Cart section.
• You’ll be prompted to log in or create an account (just a username and email address is required).
• You’ll then be presented with an email form. Enter your email address as both the sender and recipient so that you can send your design to yourself. If you like add tshirts@mjtnet.com to the To list, so that we also get a copy.
• Make a cup of coffee.
• Check your email, grab the link and go paste it in a comment here.

If you’ve already created a design, do not fear, it is not lost. Log into Zazzle (click on My Account at top right). Click on the “Products” tab. On the left under “My Products” you will see “In Progress”, “Private” and “Public”. Your T-Shirt will be under one of these – probably the “In Progress” one. Click on it and then do the Email thing as in the above instructions.

I hope that clears up any confusion. It’s worth the effort – you could win a $259 Kindle!
