Configure a Fax Filing Repository using FTP
Installation Checklist
1. Ensure that a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) service is running on the fax server where images scanned
by the machine will be stored. Write down the IP address or Host Name.
2. Create a user account (login name) and password for the machine on the server. When a document is
scanned, the machine logs in using the account, transfers the file to the server, and logs out. Write
down the user account (login name) and password.
3. Following the fax server software manufacturer's instructions, create a directory (repository) on the
server (likely within the FTP root) to be used as a scan filing location. Write down the directory name
and path to same.
4. If allowed by the fax server software manufacturer, test the FTP connection by logging into the scan
directory from a remote PC using the user account and password. Create a new folder within the
directory and then delete the folder. If you cannot perform this function, check the user account
access rights and FTP service setup. Note that you can also simply wait until you have finished setting
up device to server communications, as stated in this section, then send a fax to the server to test the
communications setup.
