Syncing your iPhone doesn't advancement your photos, and if you're not in affiliated accompany you could calmly lose them in a crash. Here's how to jailbreak your iPhone and set up an automated photo-syncing process.
Necessity is the mother of apparatus as usual. Of course, I didn't actualize any of the software to do this, I aloof put them all calm to accomplish them assignment for me. Props to TurboFTP for their alarming FTP client. You will additionally charge Google's Picasa Photo Manager which is chargeless (except for added amplitude if bare in your Google account).

UPDATE: This adviser is out of date. See our consistently abreast adviser to jailbreaking your iPhone,…
The alone acumen that I alike had to do this is because I am too apathetic to affix my iPhone to my PC and aback up my photos over iTunes. Well, it concluded up bitter me in the ass because my iPhone had to be adamantine displace because of some tinkering on my allotment and I absent 4 months of photos and videos! Oh well, assignment learned. Regardless, I knew that I still wouldn't affix my iPhone commonly to upload my pictures to my PC. I searched on the Internet to see if there was annihilation out there that could do this for me and I couldn't acquisition anything. Here is what I did so that my photos are backed up every 2 hours to the web.
Download and install TurboFTP. It allows defended FTP access to your jailbroken iPhone and has an added action that I will acknowledgment later. Also, download and install Google Picasa.
Open TurboFTP and bang the "Scheduling Clock" at the top of the screen. We are activity to accomplish a advancement agenda and acquaint it area to abode the files.
Click the "Add" button to add a appointed task.
Enter the "Site" as your iPhone IP abode (If you haven't assigned your iPhone a changeless IP abode on your network, do it now). Also, set the anchorage as "22″ aloof like in the screenshot below.
Your Remote Binder for pictures on your iPhone should be the aforementioned as mine: /private/var/mobile/Media/DCIM
Your Bounded Binder can be wherever you appetite to abundance the pictures afterwards they are affected to your workstation from your iPhone. Preferably a binder aural your "My Pictures" folder.
The Launch Time will absence to the accepted time.
Set the Echo Assignment to about generally you appetite your iPhone photos to be backed up to your workstation.
Choose the Synchronization Direction as "DOWNLOAD."
The Synchronization Scheme should be set to "Add alone new files to destination". This is the allotment that I was advertence earlier. TurboFTP allows for the advantage to analyze the photo files on your iPhone with your workstation and alone archetype the latest files…Cool!
Check the box for "Include subfolders."
Click the "Excludes Filters" and access the afterward exclusions beneath aloof as they are and bang "OK."
Then bang the "Include Filters" and ascribe the settings beneath and bang "OK". *Please note: alike admitting these files will be affected to your workstation, they will not be beatific to the web later. Alone JPG's will be synced to the web.
Click "OK" on the "Schedule Assignment Settings" window.
Go advanced and analysis the copy/backup by beat the "Run Now" button on the Assignment Scheduler screen.
If all is successful, the FTP applicant will accept affiliated to your iPhone, compared the files to what is in the accepted agenda on your workstation and affected the files to it that did not already exist.
If that didn't assignment for you, amend all of the accomplish and screenshots aloft to ensure that your IP abode and anchorage are actual as able-bodied as the synchronization settings.
Still, not working? Rinse and repeat.
Now comes the accessible part.
Remember in the alpha of the accomplish area you installed Picasa? Oh, you didn't do that yet? Ok, able-bodied do it now…ready?
You will charge to accept a Google annual of some array in adjustment to upload the files to your Picasa annual so accomplish abiding those settings are in there.
We're activity to accept to await on some accepted faculty at this point. This is area you charge to set up Picasa to admit the directories area you are artful the iPhone photos. Most likely, Picasa has already amid your "My Pictures" agenda and it is listed in Picasa.
If that is the case, you will charge to set up accompany capabilities to the web from aural Picasa. Do this by toggling the "Sync to Web" to "On".
Occasionally, as you booty added pictures with your iPhone, new directories will consistently be created on your bounded workstation. Although TurboFTP will see this and actualize the new directories, Picasa will not accompany the new directories unless accurately told to do so. So you may accept to occasionally set the accompany advantage to "On" for any new directories created in the future.
So that's it! There you accept it. Now you can booty abundance in alive that your iPhone photos are not alone actuality backed up locally to your workstation but they are additionally actuality synced offsite. Sure, this does await on WiFi aural your own home, but it's what works for me and I'm absolutely blessed with it. I ambition that there were a way to upload any new photos via 3G and I'm abiding that someone's already anticipation of it and alive on it. Hope this is accessible to addition abroad out there that has run into the aforementioned issues as I accept with attention their iPhone photos!
