[lug] Distributing photos on-line (for free, but not public)

[Will]

Gallery/Menalto allows you to bulk upload photos in one zip file via web
interface or client app.  It is easiest if you put all of your photos into
one zip file transfer it to the server how ever you see fit and then via the
web interface tell it to import the zip file.
