Re: FTP Scanning

Scan to FTP using a NAS or private cloud.
No additional FTP server or other FTP software required.

Re: FTP Scanning

I can't speak as an IT expert but I know Konica has stopped supporting FTP due to it's security vulnerabilities.

Quick 'n Easy FTP Server Lite

Why should you use software if scan to map (folder) works fine?
What is the benefit of scan to folder software (as the one mentioned above)?
I don't trust free software, and if you need to pay for it than it needs to be realy good with lots of avantages!
So?

There are many old MFPs that will not do SMB scanning to windows 10. Scan to FTP will work though.

Re: FTP Scanning

Filezilla software is just as secure as Quick and easy FTP server lite. Nothing really wrong with either. The only thing I do not like about Filezilla is it is too robust for scanning to one computer.

SMB vs FTP: Olde machines are not the only problem with SMB. A lot of newer machines are not working with SMB due to Microsoft changing security features faster than manufactures can come up with updated firmware.

I have not seen anything about Konicaminolta not supporting FTP. It can be just as secure as SMB with authentication. FTP does not have to be Anonymous like the default setting of the Konicaminolta FTP Utility.

Re: FTP Scanning

DO to Microsoft and apple continue to update there OS systems IE changing SMB requirements and screwup what works. I have been forced to use either scan to email or scan via FTP.
I have always used filezilla server and never had an issue.

Re: FTP Scanning

I also use Filezilla but I install it differently. In the beginning I used Quick n easy FTP but kept getting a lot of calls because users stopped the server by right clicking on the icon next to the clock.

When I install Filezilla I uncheck "Start Menu Shortcuts" and "Desktop icon" and on "Please choose how the interface should be started" I choose "Start Manually". This way Filezilla is hidden for the users (you don't have to go to settings and choose "Start Minimized") but the FTP server still runs on the background. I also don't create a group, I just create the user.

The only problem I have is that I can't get Filezilla to work with the hostname of the PC. I always have to change the PC to a fixed IP (or lock it in the router).

With Quick n Easy I didn't have that problem. It worked with host name as a charm.

Re. I can't get Filezilla to work with the hostname of the PC.

Filezilla probably can't find the DNS server.
The firewall could be blocking local ARP requests?

Is the entire network DHCP or all fixed IP's?
If its a home/small office router: assign the router as a [x] DHCP server and point Filezilla to the router as its DNS server.
If changing to a DHCP network;you may like to reserved router fixed IP's address to the printers etc...

Hi There.. i think you are just the guy i'm looking for.
i also am struggling to get filezilla working with the computer hostname and i need to set it up like that as the client's ip changes and then the setup needs to be done again.
i see here that you used quick and easy ftp and it work with the host name, i did download quick and easy ftp but still does not work with the host name.
is there any tips you can give on how to get this working with a host name please.
Thank you.
