Upload and share single photos [Depreciated]

Important: This feature is depreciated and will be removed with the next major version. Do not use it anymore! It will be replaced by a plugin.

You can upload photos directly with every FTP client into Lychee. This feature helps you to share single images quickly with others.

1. Upload an image to uploads/import/
2. Navigate your browser to the place where Lychee is located (e.g. http://example.com/view.php?p=filename.png). filename.png must be replaced with the filename of your uploaded file.
3. Share the link.

Lychee will import the file as an public image, delete the original (unused) file and display it in the browser. Sample FTP configuration.
