Hi, Summi!
Usually, you would have to ftp the folder to your webspace (into the "albums" directory) and it will then become visible in the "Batch Add Files" tool. By the way, you do know that cpg1.3 can be set to allow up to 10 files for transfer at one time?
Hope this helps!

Unless you want all your pictures in one folder, it would be a good idea.

Generally speaking, I find it a good idea to mimic your Category/Album  settings when setting up your folders.

For example, if you have a category named "Dogs" and albums in it like "Big Dogs" "Medium Dogs" and  "Small Dogs", you would create a folder structure in the Albums folder such as:

Coppermine
   Albums
        Dogs
          Big Dogs
          Medium Dogs
          Small Dogs

Then ftp into each folder what pictures are appropriate.
