Webcam? Schmebcam! Need freeware.

My cheap, little Logitech webcam came with some software.

One of the programs allows one to set up the camera to take pictures every five-ten minutes and then upload that image automatically to an FTP server, which is pretty cool, and when I found out about it, I was looking forward to starting my own webcame on my webpage.

Here's the thing:

The program uplads the image to a specific FTP site, which I would have to pay to be a member of. It wont allow me to change where I want the files to be sent... This seemds very silly to me, as it would have been easier to write a program that allowed the user to enter any FTP site, than one that only uploads to a specific site, which means that Logitech is obviouslyu in cahoots with the pay-for-webcam site...

Which is disapointing. I used to trust Logitech...


Anyway. Does anyone know of a Freeware program that will do what I want?

    What about Webcam Timershot that comes with XP PowerToys? Not sure if you can upload to an ftp but you could always create one of those remote drive thingies that connects via ftp.

    I never noticed that particular PowerToy. I'll play with it, and see what it can do. Thanks.
