C250 FTP Scan Setup

[Mr Spock]

with Win 7 check the firewall. Norton blocks it by default. Also you can not use the currently logged in user account or it fails. The machine and the win 7 machine have to be on the same workgroup or it can fail. I have only set up scan to smb on win7 by using the ip address (make sure it is static) and configuring a new user with password, and configuring the file with full read/write permissions for the shared folder.

Re: C250 FTP Scan Setup

Here is a docco that I did up years ago for the guys I work with. This will show you how to setup IIS and get the FTP side of things going. Using IIS, you don't have to create additional usernames and passwords as IIS has the builtin 'anonymous' account that you can use.

When using FTP, you don't have to share the root / home folder out unless there are other people on your network that you want to be able to access the scans.

Other than that, I would still recommend SMB as the data transfer speeds are faster and you don't have to install further software. Most people that still use FTP have either a special need for it, or don't want to learn how to use SMB correctly. SMB is definately the way to go.

thanks
