IMC530FB No FTP Option nor WINS??

[brett02]

We have a couple IMC530FB. I have perused the TOE and security white papers trying to see any mention that it is actually removed. Can someone validate that they do not support FTP? I have even tried copying extended device preferences via SLNX to see if it is just shut off somewhere or something like a SC code needs to be enabled to allow it .

Right now going into the addressbook only shows SMB as an option for scan to folder.

It might be because standard anonymous FTP is even less secure SMB v1. As a result, many major corporations will not permit FTP server on any computer on their network.

WINS is a deprecated protocol. There is no need for it in any modern network as it was a name resolution protocol that has now long since been replaced by DNS. I haven't seen it in active use in a network since at least 2008, and that was only because the customer was retiring the feature as there was nothing still using it. In a modern network, neither WINS not NetBIOS needs to be enabled or configured: they are both relics now...

Thank You, We are trying to guide them to disable that protocol and convert over to either a scan to email process or if they need folders to do so with SMB. This is the first Ricoh model where in the help manual it points to having FTP but it just isn't there.
