Nice work! I've wanted something like this while shooting, since people want to see what the photos I'm taking look like and all the software I've tried seems kinda bad.

Does this work better than the built-in FTP client software in the cameras? I've been tempted to just run an FTP server on my ipad which automatically shows all uploaded photos.

Funny you ask, since the a6700 doesn't have ftp support and it mainly was the reason I started this app in the first place. Also, wiring into the command structure with little shell callbacks offers me a LOT more flexibility than initially thought.

What a weird choice! An FTP client implementation is tiny.

I guess they figure FTP uploads are mostly used for professional sports photography, and they don't think people will buy the a6700 for that. (Or they don't want people buying the a6700 for that sort of professional use.)

Nice work in any case. My cameras have FTP, but using sony's remote protocol seems like a lot more fun. Its probably more reliable, too. (And I wouldn't be surprised if you can do more advanced stuff with it, like download low resolution proxies before downloading the high res images).
