Tools of the Trade: FilenameToFTP

Clients often send me PDFs and images whose file names aren’t set up correctly for the web. The files will have spaces, commas, apostrophes, or other special characters in their names which need to be changed before the files can be uploaded. To manually make these changes is a pain, so when I was using Windows full-time, I found FilenameToFTP, a tiny freeware app that makes file names web friendly. FilenameToFTP renames files and folders, using all lowercase letters and replacing invalid characters with an underscore. A nifty little time saver.

On the Mac, you can use Automator to do the same thing. The Automator action Make Names Web Friendly would probably do the trick.

1. Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your content seem to be running off the screen in Safari. I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know. The design look great though! Hope you get the issue fixed soon. Cheers
