You can use something like the commandline tool curl. The syntax is
something like:

   curl --user name:password --data id=someid --data file=@file.jpg 
http://server/folder/manage_addProduct/Photo/manage_addPhoto

but that's from memory and almost certainly faulty. To upload many,
in bash:

  for f in `ls *.jpg` ; do curl [...] id=$f [...] file=@$f ; done

There are many other ways .. maybe FTP or DAV uploading to a Photo
Folder works too .. dunno offhand.

They're generated by the Photo product using either ImageMagick
or PIL.

Yes, always the best :]
