Setting Up a Computer as a File Server
3-60
3
Using a TCP/IP Network
IMPORTANT
•
To use [Full computer name] confirmed in step 4 as the host name for [Host Name] as shown in
the above example, it is necessary to use a DNS server. (This applies even if the machine and
the FTP server are in the same subnet.) If no DNS server is available, the host name setting
should be specified using the IP address of the FTP server.
•
Up to 128 alphanumeric characters can be entered for both [Host Name] and [File Path] on the
control panel. Use strings no more than 128 characters long for the corresponding items on the
server.
•
If you switch the language of the touch panel display, [Host Name] and [File Path] may not be
displayed correctly.
•
If the FTP port number is set to a value other than 21, specify the following for [Host Name]:
<IP address of FTP server>:<Port number>
Example: 192.168.1.21:21000
NOTE
For instructions on how to specify recipient address settings, see Chapter 2, "Basic Sending
Methods," in the Sending and Facsimile Guide.
The settings for sending data to the FTP server are complete.
Windows NT 4.0
IMPORTANT
•
It is recommended that the network manager configure Windows NT Server 4.0.
•
The use of Windows NT Server as an FTP server requires the installation of Microsoft Internet
Information Server 4.0 (IIS 4.0). If IIS 4.0 is not installed in your computer, you will need to install IIS 4.0
before entering these settings. For installation procedures, see the manuals provided with your
operating system.
•
Verification of users for access to FTP servers is done by referencing the local account database of
Windows NT 4.0 Server that is used as the FTP server. Therefore, it is not possible to use the account
of a domain user registered in Windows NT 4.0 Server 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 manual for IIS 4.0.
