    Solution


    For the settings before using the Scan to File Server function (FTP) (related information), setting the IP address (related information) and setting up the computer as a file server are required.
    This section describes how to set up the computer as a file server after the IP address is set.

    Setting up a File Server

    NOTE
    • UNIX users must have Solaris 2.6 or later installed in order to use the computer as an FTP server.
    • In some environments, detailed settings may be required in order to use FTP. For details, consult your network manager.

    1. Log in to a workstation as a super user.

    2. Set up the users who send documents from the machine, and their passwords.

    Enter a user name and a password not longer than 24 alphanumeric characters.

    3. Create a shared directory to be used for destination addresses, and then enable read access and write access by the users who will be sending data.

    Registering File Server Addresses

    To send documents to a file server, specifying address is required.
    As well as entering a file server address directly, you can specify the file server address using the Address Book or One-touch registered beforehand. This section describes the instructions on how to register file server addresses in the Address Book or One-touch.

    NOTE
    • If <Language Switch> in Common Settings is set to <On>, the Host Name and File Path of the file server destination may not be displayed correctly, so you may not be able to refer to them.
    • This section describes how to register destinations from the Additional Functions screen. You can also register destinations from the Select Send Type screen, as follows:
    - In the Select Send Type screen, use [ ] , [ ] or (Scroll Wheel) to select <Address Book>, then press [OK].
    - Press the left Any key to select <Reg/Edit/Erase>.
    - Use [ ] , [ ] or (Scroll Wheel) to select <Register New Dest. to Add. Book>, then press [OK].
    - Follow the procedure described in this section from step 6.
    • Registering destinations in the Address Book is available only for the imageCLASS MF9170C.
    • If you use the imageCLASS MF8450C, register destinations in One-touch.
