Did the OP press the button after selecting upload?

Has the OP posted an image of his project all connected up to the FTDI thingy?

i use arduino for proggraming not FTDI

Are you using level shifters?

Carry out a basic connection test;

You first need to press and hold the BOOT switch or connect the GPIO0 pin to GND. This manual connection of GPIO0 to GND is what's normally needed for an ESP32CAM.

Now with the BOOT switch still held low or GPIO0 connected to GND, press and release the Reset button on the ESP32CAM. You should see the text similar to that below in the Arduino IDE serial monitor;

    rst:0x1 (POWERON_RESET),boot:0x3 (DOWNLOAD_BOOT(UART0/UART1/SDIO_REI_REO_V2))
    waiting for download

Note in particular the 'waiting for download' message, if you see this the serial connection to the ESP32CAM is probably working and the ESP32CAM is ready for upload.
