Your camera uploads straight to Skylinezs over FTPS or SFTP. Every crew gets its own gallery in seconds: watermarked previews until they pay, full-res originals the moment they do.
No laptop tether. No card swaps. 0% cut of your fan sales.
No laptop tether, no card swaps, no "I'll email you the link."
Sign up and we generate a private, isolated upload login. Pick your camera and copy the exact settings in, with presets for Canon, Nikon, Sony and more.
Each crew gets a lanyard QR. Shots sort themselves by your tap plus burst grouping. JPEG and RAW (CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, RAF, DNG) are accepted.
Fans scan, confirm "Is this your crew?" and see watermarked previews. They pay on their phone, or you mark cash, and originals unlock as private links.
Every account starts on encrypted FTPS. SFTP is there for newer firmware and apps. Legacy FTP is for older bodies with no TLS option: it's off until you turn it on, and it uses its own upload-only login.
| Mode | When | Security |
|---|---|---|
| FTPS Default | Most pro bodies with built-in FTP | Encrypted login + photos (TLS required) |
| SFTP | Newer firmware, ShutterSnitch, FileZilla | Encrypted over SSH |
| Legacy FTP Off by default | Older cameras with no TLS | Own skyup_ upload-only login, write-only into /NEW: can't list, download or delete |
You hand each crew a lanyard QR. They scan it with their normal camera, check the watermarked previews and tap to pay. The gallery unlocks while you're already shooting the next group.
