CREATING A FOLDER TEMPLATE
There are server configuration requirements that must be met before
attempting to scan to a folder. The following will briefly review the server
systems that can be used with the scanner. There is additional information
that you need to be aware of.
FTP—SETTING THE SERVER TO STORE YOUR IMAGE
FTP Stands for “File Transfer Protocol.” It is a common method of
transferring files via the Internet from one computer to another. FTP uses
RFC 959[FTP] as their protocol, and the default Port is usually 21.
Therefore, please make sure you have a valid FTP account, with write
privileges, under the directory to save the files. To add a sub-directory from
the scanner, you need to have the write privilege of adding a new directory.
HTTP—SETTING THE SERVER TO STORE YOUR IMAGE
HTTP uses RFC 2616 [HTTP 1.1] as the protocol, and the default port is
usually 80. If you are not using the default HTTP port to send and save
files, you must change the HTTP Port of the scanner to the port for the
web server you are using.
Generally speaking a web server, such as IIS or other HTTP server, can use
an anonymous account for authentication, so that the user can link directly
to the web page without entering a user name and password first. Hence, if
the HTTP Server allows anonymous account authentication, when you use
the scanner to send and save the files, there is no need for specifying any
text in the Login name and Password fields of the scanner.
On the other hand, if the IIS or HTTP server does not allow anonymous
account authentication connecting to the web page, the user will be
prompted to enter the 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 fields for the scanner, respectively.
Therefore, please make sure which mode your Web Server allows before
using HTTP for file saving. If anonymous access mode is not allowed, you
must have an HTTP account and password.
