Path/File
This field combines two elements, the image filename, preceded by an
optional path or directory. Consult with your hosting company to determine
if you need to specify a path. If you don’t, you simply put the desired name
of the image file here.
Example Without Path: netcam.jpg
Example With Path: /html/images/netcam.jpg
Advanced Fields
Rotating Archive
If enabled, NetCam will use a renaming scheme to store the current
10 images on your server. A hyphen, followed by the archive number
(0-9) is automatically appended to the end of the filenames.
Default: Off
Passive Mode
If NetCam is behind a proxy server, enable passive mode. If you are
unsure if you need passive mode, it is usually safe to enable it anyway.
Default: On
Timeout
If the FTP transfer is unsuccessful, Netcam will abort and re-initiate
the process after the specified amount of seconds.
Default: 120
Delete Before Rename
NetCam employs a file renaming scheme, which greatly reduces the
possibility of file collisions between NetCam uploading an image and view-
ers downloading the image. The image is uploaded with a .tmp extension.
Once uploaded the tmp file is renamed without the .tmp extension. Certain
FTP/Web servers do not allow a file to be renamed to a filename that already
exists. To get around this problem, enable Delete Before Rename.
Default: Off
IIS 4.0
Some FTP servers lock a file when a file with the same filename is
constantly uploaded and renamed. If you have problems seeing your image
update on your web site, try enabling the IIS 4.0 option. This option is only
valid if Delete Before Rename (above) is also enabled.
Default: Off
