upScreen1.5

upScreen is an application that facilitates a user-friendly interface for taking snapshots and uploading images via FTP. It supports SFTP for encrypted connections and contains intuitive options that can be tackled even by those less experienced with screenshots grabbers or FTP clients.

Setup and prerequisites

The utility gets unpacked quickly and effortlessly, since the installer doesn't have unfamiliar buttons. Just keep in mind that you must have a FTP account as well as .NET Framework, since upScreen was developed with the help of this platform.

Add FTP accounts and specify remote paths

A new account can be added to the program's database at startup by selecting the FTP or SFTP mode, as well as by entering the host address, port number, user name, and password.The connection can be tested before committing modifications. In the following step, you can set the remote or HTTP paths to the server, in order to automatically store the taken screenshots without confirmation or other delays.

Different capture modes

It's possible to capture the full screen, custom region or active window, in addition to Clipboard contents. Once the image is loaded, the tool automatically places its link in the Clipboard, so you can visit it in a web browser to check results.

Evaluation and conclusion

It remained stable throughout its runtime in our tests, without causing the operating system to hang, crash or indicate errors. It didn't hamper the computer's performance either, as it needed a low amount of CPU and RAM to work properly.Taking everything into account, upScreen offers a simple and effective solution for capturing snapshots in different methods to automatically upload to FTP websites. Unfortunately, the project doesn't seem to be in development anymore. Nevertheless, you can test it for yourself, since it's free and open source.
