All bootleg artwork is welcome on ZeppelinArt, from
pressed silver releases to fan created art. Take a minute
to review your collection and pass along anything missing
on ZeppelinArt. Upgrades of existing art is also welcome and often needed.
A variety of upload options are available to
fit your needs and system functions.
Unfortunately, after extensive testing and
research, a single upload method could not be
found that was 100% bug free, worked on all
browsers, and provided all the desired
features.
The following table lists each of the upload
methods with comments and features. Try
several and use the one that works best for
you. Be alert for two things.
First, if the upload tool does not ask for your
name and email, I will not be notified when you
upload. Please email me so that I can
acknowledge receipt and thank you
properly. Second, several of the
upload methods do not have a working progress
bar. If you are uploading large files,
please be patient.
Upload methods using Java applets offer the
most features, including batch uploads.
However, the applets require a current, working
version of Java installed on your
computer. This can be downloaded from
www.java.com.
The applets also require that you approve a
security certificate when opening.
JPG format is preferred for all images, 150dpi
or higher if possible. There is no need to
modify file size or resolution since images are
optimized for posting. Please use
specific file names. The upload
methods handle duplicates differently and
uploading "back.jpg" could result in files
being overwritten.
For security, uploads are limited to images
only (jpg, gif, bmp, png, tif) and are saved to
a non-public folder.

U-Upload Cart |
Java applet
Uses File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
Home Page |
Default upload method. Very stable,
supports batch uploads, drag and drop,
image preview, and progress bar.
Lacks form functions for admin notification
(please use email form called after transfer).
Batch uploads limited to 50 files or 50MB. |
| JUpload |
Java applet
Uses HTTP file upload standards
Home Page |
Nice features including batch uploads, drag
and drop, folder recursion, image preview,
progress bar, admin notification, and
local cookies. Freeware with
limited support. Beta software, somewhat buggy. Batch uploads limited
to 50 files or 50MB. |
|
HTTP File Upload Applet |
Java applet
Uses HTTP file upload standards
Home Page |
Similar to U-UploadCart feature
set. Very stable but lacks form
functions for name/email input and admin
notification. Uploads limited to
4MB per file. |
|
jClientUpload |
Java applet
Uses File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
Home Page |
Stable commercial software supporting
batch uploads, drag and drop, folder
recursion, and progress bar. Lacks
image preview and form functions.
Very small footprint. Batch uploads
limited to 50 files, 5MB maximum per
file. |
|
AspUpload |
ASP and JavaScript
Uses server-side ASP component
Home Page |
This is the previous default upload
form. No batch uploading.
Unfortunately it proved to be very buggy,
particularly the progress bar, resulting
in frequent duplicate file uploads. Still
useful for users who can't run Java
applets. |
|
PureASP Upload |
ASP and JavaScript
Pure ASP scripting for transfers
Home Page |
My first upload form. Similar
to the later ASPUpload form but only
works in IE6 (probably caused by my
scripting changes to implement more
features....) The progress bar has bugs
and may not function. Included here
for historical interest only. |
| Email |
N/A |
Optional for small uploads. Not
elegant but functional. |
| FTP |
File Transfer Protocol (requires
separate FTP client) |
Private, temporary accounts available
upon upon request for large batch
uploads. |
