Directory structure of the target folder

Configured in [FTP server] → [Directory structure].

With [Default], the root folder is used for image storage. If you have created a subfolder in the root folder by changing the [Target folder] setting, images are saved in that folder.

Selecting [Camera] automatically creates a folder structure matching that of the camera's (such as A/DCIM/100EOS1D) in the server's root folder for image storage. If you have created a subfolder in the root folder by changing the [Target folder] setting, a folder structure such as A/DCIM/100EOS1D is automatically created in that folder for image storage.

Overwriting files of the same name

Configured in [FTP server] → [Overwrite same file].

With [Overwrite same file] set to [Disable]

If there is already a file with the same name in the target folder on the FTP server, the new file is saved with an extension consisting of an underscore and a number, as in IMG_0003_1.JPG.

When you resend images if initial transfer fails

Even if the camera is configured to overwrite files of the same name, if you resend an image file that could not be transferred initially, the existing file may not be overwritten in some cases. If this happens, the new file is saved with an extension consisting of an underscore, a letter, and a numeral, as in IMG_0003_a1.JPG.

Passive mode

Configured in [FTP server] → [Passive mode].

Enable this setting in network environments protected by a firewall. If an Error 41 occurs (Cannot connect to FTP server), setting passive mode to [Enable] may enable access to the FTP server.

Trusting target servers

Configured in [FTP server] → [Trust target server].

Set to [Enable] if you prefer to connect to FTP servers even when trust cannot be established based on the root certificate used. In this case, take suitable security measures.

Specifying Connection Options

You can configure settings used for FTP transfer and Browser Remote. Settings are also available for authentication information used in LAN environments with 802.1X authentication.

  1. Select [Data transfer: Network settings].

  2. Select [Connection option settings].

  3. Select an item to configure.

FTP transfer settings

Selecting [FTP transfer settings] enables you to configure settings related to FTP transfer and power saving.

  • Automatic transfer/Transfer type/size/Transfer with SET/Set root certif

  • Power saving

    • When [Enable] is set and no image is transferred for a certain period, the camera will log off from the FTP server and disconnect from the LAN. The connection is re-established automatically when the camera is ready for image transfer again. If you prefer not to disconnect from the LAN, set to [Disable].

Browser Remote settings

Selecting [Browser Remote settings] enables you to set the account used for Browser Remote access and configure HTTP/HTTPS communication settings.

  • Port no. (HTTP)/Port no. (HTTPS)

    • You can change the port number used for HTTP/HTTPS communication. There is normally no need to change the port number (80 for HTTP, 443 for HTTPS).

  • HTTPS

    • Selecting [Enable] enables HTTPS communication for Browser Remote access.

802.1X authentication

Selecting [802.1X authentication] enables you to set, check, or delete 802.1X authentication settings, using a setup wizard.

Configure these settings when connecting to networks that require 802.1X authentication.

First, save the certificate for the type of 802.1X authentication used to a card in the camera.

File types and names that can be loaded using this function are as follows.

Type File Name
Root certificate 8021X_R.CER
8021X_R.CRT
8021X_R.PEM
Client certificate 8021X_C.CER
