XPLANATION OF FILING PROTOCOLS
FTP
FTP stands for "File Transfer Protocol." It is a common method of
transferring files via the Internet from one computer to another. FTP
uses RFC 959[FTP] as it's protocol. Therefore, ensure you have a
legal FTP account with the privilege of writing under the directory to
save the files and password before using FTP to save documents. To
add a sub-directory from the MFP, you need to have the privilege of
adding a new directory.
HTTP
HTTP uses RFC 2616[HTTP 1.1] as it's protocol, and the default Port
is usually 80. If you are not using the HTTP port to save files, you
must change the MFP HTTP Port to the port for the Web Server.
Generally speaking, a Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Web
Server will use an anonymous account for authentication, so that the
user can link directly to the web page without entering the user
name and password first. Therefore, if the HTTP Server does use an
anonymous account for authentication when you use this MFP to
save files, there is no need for setting any text in the field of Login
name and Password for the MFP.
On the other hand, if the HTTP server does not allow an anonymous
account for authentication of connection to the web page, the user
will be prompted to enter a user name and password first when
connecting to the web site. In this mode, the file saving feature is
available only when entering the user name and password permitted
by the server in the Login name and Password field for the MFP.
Therefore, make sure of the mode that your Web Server allows
before using HTTP for file saving. If anonymous access mode is not
allowed, you must have a legal HTTP account and password.
Since this MFP will check whether the directory for file saving really
exists before proceeding to file saving and writing after scanning to
the specified directory, you have to set the directory for files saving
as "browse" and allow for writing in the Web Server; otherwise the
MFP will not be able to write the file into the directory.
If you wish to use the MFP to save files, in addition to making some
settings in Web Server, you will have to confirm that the account has
