I'd use rsync for such purpose.
1) Install rsync server wherever you have your online database (if it's a
Linux server, it'll be already installed).
2) Create a module pointing to a temporary directory.
3) Install rsync (client) in the desktop PC.
4) Write a batch file to upload new images.
5) Create a Windows scheduled task to make the batch file execute.
As about security, rsync offers several alternatives, ranging from
passwords to user certs.
