Path/File
This field combines two elements, the image filename, preceded by an
optional path or directory. Ask your web host if you need to use a directory
path for the image filename. Otherwise, you can just use the filename of
the JPEG image.
Example Without Path: camera.jpg
Example With Path: /html/images/camera.jpg
Advanced Fields
Rotating Archive
If enabled, the Express will use a renaming scheme to store the last
10 images on your server. A hyphen, followed by the archive number
(0-9) is automatically appended to the end of the filenames.
Default: Off
Passive Mode
If the Express is behind a proxy server, enable passive mode. If you are
unsure if you need passive mode, it is usually safe to enable it anyway.
Default: On
Timeout
If the FTP transfer is unsuccessful, The Express server will abort and
re-initiate the process after the specified amount of seconds.
Default: 120
Delete Before Rename
The Express Server employs a file renaming scheme, which greatly
reduces the possibility of file collisions between the camera uploading an
image and viewers downloading the image. The image is uploaded with a
.tmp extension. Once uploaded the tmp file is renamed without the .tmp
extension. Certain FTP/Web servers do not allow a file to be renamed to
a filename that already exists. To get around this problem, enable Delete
Before Rename.
Default: Off
