Create an external location
Introduction
You can create your own FTP, SMB, WebDAV, external locations with Océ Express WebTools.
Before you begin
NOTE
• Make sure you enable [SMB] protocol.
• Make sure you enable [FTP] under the [Configuration] - [Connectivity] tab.
• Make sure the URL for [WebDAV] is not blocked.
• For this procedure, you need to log in as a System Administrator.
Procedure
1. Select the [Configuration] - [External locations] tab.
2. Click on [Create new] in the upper right-hand corner.
3. Enter a [Name] recognizable for the user. This name appears on the user panel.
4. Enter a [Description] of the settings used.
5. Select the [Type] of the external location: [FTP], [SMB], or [WebDAV].
6. Enter the [Path]. The folder path or URL to the external location.
• For [FTP], use the syntax: hostname[/path] (example: myhost/mydirectory/scantofile).
• For [SMB], use the syntax: \\hostname\sharename[\path] (example: \\myhost
\myshareddirectory\scantofile).
• For [WebDAV] locations, use the full HTTP URL (for example: http://example.webdav.org:8080/
repository/).
7. Select under [Credentials] whether or not the user has to log in to access the external location.
• Select [Prompt the user to log in on the user panel] when you want the user to log in on the
user panel.
Login will appear when the user tries to access the external location on the user panel.
• Select [Use the following credentials for automatic login:] when you want to configure the
credentials here.
The user is not requested to log in on the user panel when he tries to access the external
location.
8. If you have selected [Use the following credentials for automatic login:] fill in the username and
password.
• The [Username] gives access to the external location. The user must at least have read and
write permissions for the external location. For SMB destinations the format must be as
follows: Local user name: "IPaddress\username" or "hostname\username". Domain user
name: "domain\username".
• Enter the [Password] that belongs to the username.
