Explanation of filing 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.
If you wish to use the MFP to save files, in addition to making some
settings in Web Server, you will have to confirm that the account has
writing privilege for connecting to the Web Server. If not, the MFP will
not be able to “write” the scanned file in the file system.
