Hello all, I decided to make a quick-n-dirty python script to bridge an FTP client with Zenfolio.

You simply start this script (which acts as local FTP server) with a target photoset name (e.g. "Incoming") and then point your FTP client at 127.0.0.1. The username and password get passed through to the Zenfolio API. For right now it is "write" only, so you can't download files with this script.

Simple, but since I don't do a lot of python hacking it is probably buggy ;)

You will have to install a few python libraries but they are all pretty straight forward. Maybe a real python developer can tell me the preferred way of distributing these kinds of things.

Very cool idea!

Can you make it so that it emulates an FTP server more - like creating a directory creates a photoset, etc..?  This at least seems possible in theory.... now you got me thinking.  :-)  There's a fine-line, since there are FTP batch operations that will want to send files, create dirs, recursivity.. recursiveness... you know, round-n-round the directory hole...
