FTP (File Transfer Protocol), transferring files via TCP-based network, e.g. Internet, is a generally 
standard protocol that is adopted to transmit computer files from one host to another.  
The camera can act as both FTP Server and FTP Client. This section describes how to use the camera 
as FTP Server while 9.Event Source section (Handlers 

 Snapshot: Store to Edge/ Store to FTP) 

describes how to use the camera as FTP Client.
