I wasn't sure if I needed this.
The decision was made, when I remembered all those pix I took at so many occasions as BBQs, parties, travels but never sent to my friends who have been with me.
Why?
Well I don't want to burn CDs and send them by post.
By eMail I would have to resize them. But me myself do not like these shrunked little thumbnail pictures. So I neither give them to others.
And uploading to my ftp server and having always to figure out, how the correct link would be, is just too annoying.
Now I think these times are over.

I had some difficulties to configure it with my ftp-server but finally worked it out.

@Developer:
Some buttons next to the link would be great (instead of the ctrl-click-dropdown-menu): "open in browser", "send link via Mail". Thx
