Mac scan to ricoh MP 5004 or MP4054

[aviso66]

Just one amendment, I don't know if you are aware of that, but if you are on LAN and bonjour is not disabled (by machine, switch or computer) - you can even use Airprint (secure) to scan documents. Good about this is that it sets itself automatically, the downside is that Airprint scan is not a PUSH scan, but PULL scan (same as twain/WIA driver). Also, bonjour/airprint is not a routable protocol, it will not work outside of LAN. It cannot pass gateway.

owh...something when wrong today. i tried the code

sudo -s launchctl load -w /system/library/launchdaemons/ftp.plist..

activate ftp scan was successful on yosmite.

but then on catalina... i have encountered an error that says there's no such file or directory... OMG.

Is there anyway to workaround to make this scanning works?
any free ftp server software for macos?

If there were would you really trust the security of your systems to a freebee?

FTP is no more supported on MAC OS, as Apple (as well as others) do not consider this plaintext protocol as secure enough. Yes, on previous versions years back you could activate the daemon (service) that runs natively and which provided ftp server. Not anymore these days. You must use 3rd party app if you want ftp server back.

Free tricks? or paid apps?

There are numerous FTP, SFTP and FTPS apps available for Mac to include Filezilla. https://www.macgasm.net/software/bes...lient-for-mac/

Read the link for information between FTP, SFTP and FTPS.

Hey Slim, thx for the useful link. But for the mac os desktop/laptop you need a ftp server. Not the client

But I would recommend this one FTP Server v App Storu It is pretty easy to use and operate. Works fine with Ricoh mfps. Though not secure But when it comes to PRIMAX controlers for the smallest of the Ricoh products (soho category) - these are literally not suitable for any secure shell (no SMTPs, no SMB2/3), it is only chance how to get files over the TCP

edit: the link above is for paid app. You can use also free QuickFTP Server on the App Store

I experienced no problems to scan from a mac to a machine with SOP, the only thing is to scan inside the public folder. Tried out with catalina and a Mp 305+ without any problems

For the older MAC OS up to 10.14 (not sure exactly) it is quite simple as some post above.
For the newer systems (since two years ago) you need to DISABLE packet signing on the MAC. That´s the new security feature, which prevents Ricoh copiers to save files using SMB protocol. Win systems are good, but Macs must be altered via the terminal and SCUTIL.

commands are as follow:

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.smb.server.plist SigningRequired -bool FALSE
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.smb.server.plist SigningEnabled -bool FALSE
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.smb.server.plist SMB1SigningEnabled -bool FALSE
sudo /usr/libexec/smb-sync-preferences (this one will probably say that this service is not running

Since 10.15 you have to add this commands:

echo “[default]” | sudo tee -a /etc/nsmb.conf
echo “port445=both” | sudo tee -a /etc/nsmb.conf

Aaah... I have stopped doing this for customers.. it is more and more complicated these days and a lot of customers are more and more suspicious why do I have to disable some of the system security settings... so.. I am not supporting this anymore.

Therefore I would recommend not to use it again until Ricoh release some new version of controller which supports packet signature.. :/
