How to manage more then 2000 images on a ftp server?

Any ideas? My ftp doesnt allow me to view more then 2000 files at the same time. Will SSH work, if so how to view and erase lets say a hundered images at one time. Is there any guide where i could read more about this? If this isnt possible what would be something else to do?

 

I would use subfolders, is there any special reason you can't?

 

Thanks Yes i do. Im using putty to connect. May i ask what the term "rm" means. Would u know away to erase multiple images all in once by any change.

 

rm means remove, it can if I'm not mistaken remove both files and folders. You can use it with wildcards to remove files with similar names

rm pict*

removes all files whos name starts with "pict".

 

Great would it be possible to erase pictures using the option wildcards that contain the word "xtreme", as for example in the middle of this url NEXTEL_I80_XTREME_Rapid_Charging_Car_Charger_Silver1.jpg . And would it be possible to erase images that have a certain height and width? Thanks

 

You can play around with wildcards yourself using the ls command.

I believe

ls *XTREME*.jpg

PHP:

will do the trick for you.

For height and width, I don't know, but if you have some perl knowledge you could do it. Maybe somebody knows of a script or could write one really quick. I don't know image libraries very well.

 

Thanks You can use the remove command as well:

Still havnt figured out how to delete the images depending on there size.
