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:
- It is recommended that the FTP server be configured by the network administrator.
- The use of Windows XP Professional as an FTP server requires the installation of Microsoft Internet Information Services 5.1 (IIS 5.1). If IIS is not installed in the computer you are using, you will need to install IIS before entering these settings. For installation procedures, see the documentation provided with your operating system. Windows XP Home Edition cannot be used as an FTP server.
- The use of Windows Server 2003 as an FTP server requires the installation of Microsoft Internet Information Services 6.0 (IIS 6.0). If IIS is not installed in the computer you are using, you will need to install IIS before entering these settings. For installation procedures, see the documentation provided with your operating system.
- The use of Windows Vista/Server 2008 as an FTP server requires the installation of Microsoft Internet Information Services 7.0 (IIS 7.0). If IIS is not installed in the computer you are using, you will need to install IIS before entering these settings. For installation procedures, see the documentation provided with your operating system.
- The use of Windows 7/Server 2008 R2 as an FTP server requires the installation of Microsoft Internet Information Services 7.5 (IIS 7.5). If IIS is not installed in the computer you are using, you will need to install IIS before entering these settings. For installation procedures, see the documentation provided with your operating system.
- Verification of users for access to FTP servers is done by referencing the local account database of the Windows XP Professional/Vista/7/Server 2003/Server 2008 that is used as the FTP server. Therefore, it is not possible to use the account of a domain user registered in Windows XP Professional/Vista/7/Server 2003/Server 2008 to send data directly from the machine to FTP servers in other domains.
- This section describes the procedures for using the default home directory under [Default FTP Site]. To use other settings, enter the FTP site and home directory by referring to the documentation for IIS.
