A little fyi for those with scan to smb issues with smb1 disabled

Does it work with hostnames instead of IP address?

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.

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

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.

Just confirmed it does NOT work with host name after installing it and testing.

Do you realize that US Federal regulations require that all business related emails be archived for seven years? This would include your scan to email setup! There are penalties for not archiving the scan to emails for the full seven years, which can amount to a very large usage of disk space. As you suggest, having one shared folder either on a server or a shared PC will circumvent the scanning to email setup and the archive requirements for emails. All of our state accounts and large customers prohibit scanning to email for this very reason as it creates a huge storage problem on their servers as the email and the attachment have to be archived for seven years. Simply creating a "temp scan folder" on the server or a shared PC and having the users pull the scanned documents into their own PC will circumvent the archive requirements. We have found that most IT people do not realize the archive requirements for a scan to email setup and when explained to them they do not want that setup implemented. Hope this helps a little.

Everything to Know About Email Retention Laws

Thanks for the link, it helps to define the requirements. However, if you look at the info, if you are a "public company" [ie: for profit} it requires the seven year retention on all emails related to your business. We do not have the IT staff available to sort through all the emails that need to be archived and those that do not, most companies would not either. If you do business with state or federal accounts and cannot produce the electronic communications exchanged including the scan to emails you would be facing significant fines and penalties. Just trying to be safe!
