pixindex — Make/Upload Photos Page+Zipfile
This small Python 3.X program generates an HTML page to view a folder of images — inline in the page, by links in the page, and by an automatically created and linked zipfile of the photos — and then transfers the photos and generated zipfile and HTML page to a site folder by FTP.
