For more information on the system requirements for using a UNIX/Linux computer as an FTP server,
see "System Requirements" in “Sending Data,” on p. 3-6.
In some environments, detailed settings may be required in order to use FTP. For details, consult your
network administrator.
1 Log in to a workstation as a superuser → 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.
2 Create a shared directory to be used for recipient addresses, and then
enable read access and write access by the users who will be sending data.
3 Set a recipient address using the control panel.
Sample recipient setting:
Server side settings:
[Host Name]: starfish
[Domain]: organization.company.com
The user's home directory is /home/hsato, and /home/hsato/share is the data destination
The machine's recipient settings:
<Protocol>: FTP
[Host Name]: starfish.organization.company.com
[Folder Path]: Enter one of the following:
share (when using relative path)
/home/hsato/share (when using absolute path)
[User]: User name entered in step 1
[Password]: Password for the above user
For a sample screen, see the example of Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/Vista screen (see p. 5-31).
