Registering an FTP server
You can register FTP servers for FTP transfers to the camera. Up to three FTP servers can be registered. As an example, the method for registering [FTP Server 1] is described here.
-
MENU →
(Network) → [FTP Transfer Func.] → [FTP Server 1].- The setting screen for FTP Server 1 will appear.
-
Select each setting item and then input the setting value for FTP Server 1.
- Input each item using the software keyboard and then select [OK].
Menu item details
- Display Name:
- Input a name for the FTP server to be registered.
- Destination Settings:
- Configure the following items for the FTP server:
- Host Name: The host name or IP address of the server
- Secure Protocol: Set whether or not to execute secure FTP transfers
- Port: The port number of the FTP server
- Directory: The destination folder name
- User Info Settings:
- Input a user name and password to log on to the FTP server.
About the destination folder
The destination folder configuration is as follows.
- Example:
When “aaa” is specified as the destination folder name - C:\interpub\ftproot\aaa\ILCE9-_xxxxxxx\hhmmss\DCIM\100MSDCF\
- When the destination folder name is not specified
- C:\interpub\ftproot\yyyy-mm-dd\ILCE9-_xxxxxxx\hhmmss\DCIM\100MSDCF\
interpub\ftproot: Destination folder name set by the FTP server side
aaa: Folder name specified by the camera
ILCE9-xxxxxx: Model name and serial number
hhmmss: Transfer time
DCIM\100MSDCF: Name of the transfer source folder inside the camera
yyyy-mm-dd: Transfer date
- Even if an image with the same file name is transmitted again, the image will be transferred to another folder with a different transfer time, so the image will not be overwritten.
Hint
- For details on how to input using the software keyboard, see the “Help Guide” for the camera.
Note
- It is recommended that you set [Secure Protocol] to [On]. When it is set to [Off], communications between the camera and the FTP server may be intercepted. Also, user names, passwords, and file data may be leaked if the camera connects to an unintended FTP server.
- The camera is not compatible with active mode FTP transfers.
