| WebCam Monitor: Configuring FTP Settings |
Configuring FTP Settings
To configure FTP Settings for remote monitoring:
- On the Tools menu, click Options.
- Select the Remote Monitoring tab.
- Under Upload, click Configure.
- Specify the upload details and click OK.
FTP Server Settings
Specify the FTP Address, User Name, Password, Port and the FTP folder to where you want to upload. Use the Test Connection button to check if WebCam Monitor is able to connect to the specified FTP server.
Use Passive Mode for FTP connection
Select this option if you want to connect to the FTP server in Passive Mode. This option is mostly required when you are connecting to the FTP server via a proxy.
When you connect to the Internet using a proxy server and you receive a "425 Can't open data connection" or "500 Invalid PORT Command" error during an upload then you must enable this option.

Upload Settings
For information about configuring uploads, see Upload Settings.
Monitoring Upload Status
To view the current upload status, open the View menu and select Show Upload Status.
Note
The FTP upload works best when:
- WebCam Monitor is configured to run Video/Audio Recording and/or Take Photos alert on motion/noise detection.
- From Upload What, both the Audio/Video Files option and Photos option are checked.
After this configuration, all files generated by the two alerts will be uploaded to the specified FTP location.
