PROTOCOLS
FTP
FTP stands for "File Transfer Protocol." It is a common method of
transferring files via the Internet from one computer to another.
FTP use RFC 959[FTP] as their protocol. Therefore, ensure you
have a legal FTP account with the privilege of writing under the
directory to save the files and password before using FTP to save
documents. To add a sub-directory from the MFP, you need to
have the privilege of adding a new directory.
HTTP
HTTP use RFC 2616[HTTP 1.1] as their protocol, and the default
Port is usually 80. If you are not using the HTTP port to save files,
you must change the MFP HTTP Port to the port for the Web
Server.
Generally speaking, a Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Web
Server will use an anonymous account for authentication, so that
the user can link directly to the web page without entering the
user name and password first. Therefore, if the HTTP Server does
use an anonymous account for authentication when you use this
MFP to save files, there is no need for setting any text in the field
of Login name and Password for the MFP.
On the other hand, if the HTTP server does not allow an
anonymous account for authentication of connection to the web
page, the user will be prompted to enter a user name and
password first when connecting to the web site. In this mode, the
file saving feature is available only when entering the user name
and password permitted by the server in the Login name and
Password field for the MFP.
Therefore, make sure of the mode that your Web Server allows
before using HTTP for file saving. If anonymous access mode is
not allowed, you must have a legal HTTP account and password.
Since this MFP will check whether the directory for file saving
really exists before proceeding to file saving and writing after
scanning to the specified directory, you have to set the directory
for files saving as "browse" and allow for writing in the Web
Server; otherwise the MFP will not be able to write the file into
the directory.
