FTP -- PASV or PORT IP3M-956E?

Post by tedp »

There doesn't seem to be a setting for FTP transfers using passive or active mode (https://winscp.net/eng/docs/ftp_modes). I need passive transfers since I am trying to forward the FTP uploads over an SSH (which will only work with passive FTP). Can anyone confirm which mode is used by the IP3M-956E?

Hello tedp,

The FTP mode the camera uses is Passive FTP.

Thanks -- it makes troubleshooting easier knowing this. It would be helpful to have an FTP "test" button to check out the configuration.

Hello tedp ,

Test button is not available however if you go to System > Log, you can find the log for FTP status. It shows whether it successfully connected to FTP or not.
