Directory structure of the target folder

Configured in [FTP server] → [Directory structure].

With [Default], the root folder is used for image storage. If you have created a subfolder in the root folder by changing the [Target folder] setting, images are saved in that folder.

Selecting [Camera] automatically creates a folder structure matching that of the camera's (such as A/DCIM/100EOSR1) in the server's root folder for image storage. If you have created a subfolder in the root folder by changing the [Target folder] setting, a folder structure such as A/DCIM/100EOSR1 is automatically created in that folder for image storage.

Overwriting files of the same name

Configured in [FTP server] → [Overwrite same file].

With [Overwrite same file] set to [Disable]

If there is already a file with the same name in the target folder on the FTP server, the new file is saved with an extension consisting of an underscore and a number, as in IMG_0003_1.JPG.

When you resend images if initial transfer fails

Even if the camera is configured to overwrite files of the same name, if you resend an image file that could not be transferred initially, the existing file may not be overwritten in some cases. If this happens, the new file is saved with an extension consisting of an underscore, a letter, and a numeral, as in IMG_0003_a1.JPG.

Passive mode

Configured in [FTP server] → [Passive mode].

Enable this setting in network environments protected by a firewall. If an Error 41 occurs (Cannot connect to FTP server), setting passive mode to [Enable] may enable access to the FTP server.

Trusting target servers

Configured in [FTP server] → [Trust target server].

Set to [Enable] if you prefer to connect to FTP servers even when trust cannot be established based on the root certificate used. In this case, take suitable security measures.

FTP transfer settings

Selecting [FTP transfer settings] enables you to configure settings related to FTP transfer and power saving.

• Automatic transfer / Images to transfer / Transfer with SET / Set root certif

  For details, see Transferring Images to an FTP Server.

• Power saving

  When [Enable] is set and no image is transferred for a certain period, the camera will log off from the FTP server and disconnect from the LAN. The connection is re-established automatically when the camera is ready for image transfer again. If you prefer not to disconnect from the LAN, set to [Disable].

• Protect images

  To automatically protect images transferred via FTP, set to [Enable] ().
