Using Android Devices for FTP Transfers
One of the transfer methods offered by WPS Pro is FTP, or
File Transfer Protocol
. File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard
network protocol used to transfer files from one device to another device over a TCP-based network, such as the Internet.
FTP is built on a client-server architecture and uses separate control and data connections between the client and the server.
FTP transfer is best used when transferring images from a mobile device to the WPS Pro for printing. To do this, you must
have a FTP client application installed on your mobile device. Be sure your FTP client application allows for binary data
transfer as that is the data type WPS Pro supports.
Configuring Android for FTP Transfers
You can configure mobile FTP client applications to allow you to use this transfer method from most mobile camera and
photo editing applications. You can send images to print via the FTP client using the share option.
1.
Download and install a FTP client application from Google Play™.
Note
Some examples of FTP client applications are: AndFTP, Auto Uploader, and Turbo Client.
2.
Once installed, launch the FTP client application.
