I have to admit this looks like a pretty cool application. But I can't seem to determine how it would work for an end user that would log in.

From what I gather a user would have to upload images to a folder with an ftp program first? Or does something have to be set up with FileUpload?

I have been through the demo and such but can't seem to figure out how this would work. Also, as the developer I would set this up for a customer site, but then the customer would have all the same tools as the developer, this could be potentially dangerous as someone with absolutely no knowledge of what they are doing can really screw up a gallery.

Maybe I am just missing some info somewhere?

To do a server upload, the files would be FTP'd over to the server first, correct. There is also a single image upload option where the user can choose a single image and set its title/description.

If you are setting this up for a customer, you could always "disable" some functionality such as removing the Add to Site page if you didn't want them to see the code. Otherwise, you could apply SecurityAssist to assign more user roles, adjust the login logic, and lock down some of the pages accordingly.
