Two new ways to share
If you’ve been sharing videos with blip, you’re by now well acquainted with our upload form. The one that lets you upload as much video as you want, through your Web browser, and gives you real-time feedback as to how the upload’s going.
Our Web-based upload and progress bar are still the best out there… but a lot of you have asked for a way to upload a bunch of videos at once.
I’m pleased to announce two new ways to upload videos to blip. Both allow you to upload as many videos as you want, en masse, all at one time. Best of all, they’re both really easy.
The first new way to upload to blip is our new downloadable tool we call UpperBlip. UpperBlip is available for Mac and Windows, and is really easy to install and get running. Once you’ve got UpperBlip, fire it up and drag videos from your hard drive into the UpperBlip window. The rest is so easy I’m not even going to explain. Here’s a screenshot:
UpperBlip isn’t the only new way to upload a bunch of videos to blip at the same time. I’m pleased to announce that we now support FTP.
That means that you can now open up your favorite FTP client, point it at ftp.blip.tv and login with your blip username and password. Upload as many videos as you like, logout, and voila — they’re on blip! (Note the “logout” bit — you have to logout of your FTP session before your videos will appear on blip).

Where can I get help for Upperblip? This Upperblip refuges to install “Fatal exception occurred.Program will exit”
I have WinXP & IE7

FTP upload is great but with a problem. It moves video from FTP directory to the show as soon as user logged out. Now this creates problem when user was discconnected before upload was completed. The best thing would be to give some time so that user can resume the interrupted download. Another option is not to move automatically and give some option in dashboard where user can move files from ftp directory to show

Yes, what Yusuf said! I’m on my third try on a big upload - so far every time my DSL connection has dropped before the upload completed - 100MB and after going to all the trouble of finding an FTP program that actually supports resuming uploads (CyberDuck) - it’s not working - it’s starting over from scratch every time - I may never get the file uploaded at this rate. Please allow us to resume uploads, if not on your native upload form, at least support it as Yusuf said by not automatically moving the file, or giving us a preference or option to turn off the automatic moving of the file.
Thanks!

Hi
i am not sure if this blog is still active, but i will assume it does.
i use filezilla but i cannot connect.
1. is it because i am in a proxy server?
2. i don’t specify the port?
3. Or what reason
If it’s the port, help me because i don’t know it
