Scanning and Sending to an FTP Server

Make settings on the machine or a computer for sending scans to an FTP server. Follow the steps below.

IMPORTANT

Whether to set the FTP's PASV mode depends on your network environment and the destination FTP server settings. Contact your network administrator for details.
