Upload All file in ASCII mode using you ftp program except those files in the following subdirectories

Telnet To your host and switch the the directory containing gallery.pl and issue the following command :

chmod 755 gallery.pl

Running

Telnet to your server where the script resides and type the following:

./gallery.pl



(IE: gallery.pl gallery1 Teens and nothing but teen pictures )

Thats it. Everytime you type the command and parameters the script will create and submit a brand new gallery. Simple eh? =)

If you get "cp: `images/file.jpg' and `images/file.jpg' are the same or "cp: `thumbs/file.jpg and `thumbs/file.jpg' are the same. Don't worry, the script still works.
