Enable FTP

Select to use the FTP feature.

Destination

Select either [CF Card] or [USB Storage] as the location for the FTP server folder.

Folder

Defines the CF card or USB storage folder path, up to 90 single-byte characters long, to share on the FTP server.

If you define the folder as "FTPsite" and in Internet Explorer enter the address "ftp://ip_address/", the application displays the "WebSite" folder from the CF card or USB storage.

For example, referencing the CF Card's WebSite folder

  • As you can specify only a single folder as the Web Server's root folder, set up the destination to either USB storage or the CF card.

  • Slashes ("/" or "\") at the end of paths are automatically deleted when saving.Except in the case when the slash ("/" or "\") is the only character in the path.

  • If you want to specify all folders in USB storage or CF card, leave blank.

  • At file deletion, the first bit of the status address does not turn ON/OFF. Only at log in and log out will the status address be updated.

  • The Transfer File Size is the total size of files received and sent. To clear the Transfer File Size, you need to log in again.
