FTP Scanning Question

[BillyCarpenter]

I've been working on figuring this out for several hours. I wanted to give it my best shot before having to ask anyone for help, but I'm at a stand still.

I downloaded Filezilla and made the necessary rules for the firewall. I created my username and password in filezilla. I gave full control to the shared folder.

I'm using a Kyocera TA-3501i as a test vehicle. I input all the FTP settings in the copier but I'm getting a connection error. I'm using port 21. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to put for the hostname. I used the IP address of the computer I'm on. Is that wrong/right?

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: FTP Scanning Question

IP address should work.

If ftp scanning I would recommend

Quick 'n Easy FTP Server Lite

it does not get any easier

I was about to quote YOU from another thread! [emoji23]

Mansart is right, and while I have not used this software with my clients in the field, I have tested in a few times with some copiers in our office. It's really easy to set up.

Great software. As long as network security isn't an issue, I HIGHLY recommend it!

I'll give that a try. I'm not really a big fan of Filezilla.

Re: FTP Scanning Question

You don't have to share the folder using filezilla server setup

user name
password

than map to folder enable all checks


settings for copier ipaddress or host name
user name and password
path .

I use it all the time

screen shots if this doesn't work

I gotta take a break for tonight. I'm reached the point of diminishing returns (my head hurts.) I'll get back on it tomorrow. I'll hit you up for help.

Re: FTP Scanning Question

I finally got FileZilla to work. Had to change port numbers and assign a port range under passive mode settings. Also had to create a a couple of firewall rules. It was a learning experience and it will come in handy for those machines that don't support SMB 2.0.

Re: FTP Scanning Question

By the way, one of the problems I was having is that FileZilla was saying that I was behind a NAT router. Here was the fix for the next person that encounters this:

Re: FTP Scanning Question

Ive never changed the Nat settings and never had a problem getting it to work

Re: FTP Scanning Question

I should also note that on a Kyocera machine that you need to leave the "path" box blank. When I would enter the folder name, it would not work.

Re: FTP Scanning Question

The ftp software be it FileZilla or EZFTP handles the routing to folder. Copier just needs to get the file to the host (PC)

So no need for folder path at copier

No need to change the port

Re: FTP Scanning Question

Couple random thoughts, just to add to the wealth of knowledge here:

I always like to test my FTP setup from the command prompt of the computer, before I try scanning at the copier:
Open CMD Prompt
Type "FTP [IP Address of host computer]"
Type in "anonymous" (or the Login of an account that you created in the FTP Server)
If using the Anonymous account, press Enter at the password blank (or input the password that you configured)
Once you are successfully connected, type "dir" to list anything in the root folder (this is the most important part, imho, as it will trigger a firewall warning/prompt if you haven't properly set an exception)
Type "bye" or close the window to end session.

Also, for Konica Minolta's at least, I have noticed that they are very specific about what you put in the "destination" section of scan address setup. Some models need a "." while others seem to only like "/" or "". If everything else seems correct, it's worth trying something different as the destination entry.
