A valid FTP URL begins with

l
ftp://example.com/mychannel/
l
ftp://192.168.0.23/channel/
l

l
If the folders do not exist on the FTP server, the iCC attempts to create them. This will fail if you do not provide
a login name and password with appropriate write access.
l
To test the setup, the iCC attempts to log into the FTP server you have defined. It notifies you if this is
successful or not.
