3.5 FTP Properties

The FTP Properties instruct NetCam to upload images to a remote

server. After making changes, click the Apply button to save the settings

in the camera.

FTP Upload

FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol, one of the most popular methods

for transferring files over the Internet. In addition to NetCam serving

images from its internal web server, NetCam can also upload images to an

external web server. This is useful if you plan on having a large number

of visitors viewing the live images or if you’d like to archive every image

NetCam takes. To enable image uploads, check FTP Upload on and fill out

the options below.

Required Fields
