ImageSalsa Configuration

With the new Logitech C910 web camera working, I started to configure ImageSalsa.

  1. I set my Location Preferences for latitude and longitude.
  2. I configured the web camera in Video –> Video Feed Setup.  The maximum resolution was 640×480.
  3. I created a new portfolio and a new canvas.
  4. I made the changes to the canvas properties.

The next step was to set the FTP Push settings.  However, I ran into problems.  The file would try to upload but would disconnect unexpectedly.  I tried a number of variations in the settings but nothing worked.  I did some research and found a forum posting with the exact same issue.  However, there was no resolution.  So, I tried uploading via FTP to a different web hosting provider.  That worked.  So, I sent an email to my primary web hosting provider asking if there was any changes I could make to my FTP server settings.
