Hi Everyone just wondering how to SMB-FTP scan to a Mac computer. I can scan to a PC but not to mac without pinpoint scan.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Scan to email...
But seriously, I turn on the hidden FTP service in the mac using Mountain tweaks (Apps | Developer Fredrik Wiker - Mountain Tweaks and Lion Tweaks). Put a folder called scans on the desktop, and put desktop/scans in the path. Biggest problem I've had is resolving the hostname of the mac, I usually have to use the IP and show the customer how to change it when the Mac's ip changes.
Ignore SMB completely. Do scan to ftp as it works across all operating systems. Install FileZilla FTP server on the client PC and just set up a share. Really easy, just remember to allow FileZilla though Windows firewall (not an issue on Mac).
