Are there any directions on setting up the Quick and easy FTP server lite for a Ricoh machine ?

To my knowledge there is no Quick and easy FTP server lite software specifically for Ricoh. It is a third party software for the computer. You first need to decide on the specific software you wish to use. Hint, make sure that you select a server software and not a client software. If you choose FileZilla there are a number of member here that recommend it and threads that have directions on installation.
You don't require any additional FTP server software running on any PC or Server.
FTP Plug-n-Play for DIY home/small office Networks:
1. Plug 1GB - 2 Terrabyte USB/FLASH/HDD/SSD into any PC. Create individual customer scan folder/directories for all PC's on the network onto this USB stick or HDD. This will be come our NAS (Network Address/Adapter Share)
USB/HDD Create Folder example:
|_Bill
|_Fred
|_Mary
|_Jane
2. Plug in the above NAS into the local network "Modem/Router" or "Switch".
3. You will need to enter the NAS Router or switch configuration WIM (eg.http://10.1.1.254) and setup customized names,passwords and individual directories. These are the same directories you created in step 1. on the USB/HDD. Look for the "Set up Share" menu tab while inside the Router WIM.
Share setup Example:
User/Share name : Mary
Password : -accounts-123-
[x] Use directory :Mary
[x] read/write access
4.Configure all your customers MFD's or Scanners to "FTP Scan" to the same multiple customised NAS directories above.
Ricoh MFD address book setup :
FTP[x]
user :Mary
password :-accounts-123-
scan to folder:\\10.1.1.254\Mary\
5.On all PC's, run windows "File Explorer".
Right click on: Computer | Map Network Drive | enter \\NAS-IP<eg.10.1.1.254>\NAS-User-Id<eg Mary>\ | [Z] Drive | [x] Reconnect at logon| <enter>
DIY scan to FTP --as straight forward as it can be.
NB. FTP is not totally secure, but its a step up from SMBv1-2.

Exactly what I'd like to find out. I love Konica Minolta's FTP Utility except the fact it won't take host names. Once the power goes out after a windows update that has set the PC back to DHCP, we get a call that scanning no longer works. If FTP Utility had host name capability, it would be absolutely perfect since it's so light and reliable after all these years.
1) On the computer create a "Scans" folder on the "C" drive
2) Download and install Quick and Easy FTP Server Lite
3) During install you will be asked for, User Name, Password, Folder for root (May not be in this order and may have more)
4) Open the web page of the copier and login as the administrator
5) Goto Address Book and choose the "Detail" if available
6) Input "One Touch" name and "Display Name"
7) Scroll to "Folder Authentication" and input the "Name" and "Password" entered during install
8) Scroll to folder and set drop topdown to "FTP"
9) Enter the the local computer info in the following format in "Path": computer/\
The "" tells the FTP to use the root folder which is "Scans". If you are going to have subfolders under "Scans" use that folder name instead of "".
This should work. if "" does not work try any of the following "/", "*", "." . I believe one of these will work. I do not do a lot of FTP but have been using it more often.
Actually depends on the email type.
