FTP
The Administrator can send an alarm message to one or two File Transfer Protocol (FTP) sites when
motion is detected. FTP notifications are set by selecting the checkbox for an FTP-related triggered
action on the
IO and Network Failure Detection screens.
For each server, enter the server IP address, server port number, user name, password, and remote
folder path. Settings are entered in the
System > Network > FTP screen:

To use passive mode, select the 1st FTP passive mode or 2nd FTP passive mode checkbox for the
respective server. In passive mode, FTP the client initiates both connections to the server, solving the
problem of firewalls filtering the incoming data port connection to the client from the server.
In order to support passive mode FTP on the server-side firewall, the following communication
channels must be opened:

FTP server's port 21 from anywhere (client initiates connection)

FTP server's port 21 to ports > 1023 (server responds to client's control port)

FTP server's ports > 1023 from anywhere (client initiates data connection to random port
specified by server)

FTP server's ports > 1023 to remote ports > 1023 (server sends ACKs and data to client's data
port)
To test the connection to the specified FTP server, click TEST for the first or second server.
Click SAVE when finished.
