Step 7: Select the directory folder you just created from the menu and click "OK" when you are done.

Click the "Add" button to set the directory. For this example I have created a folder labeled "FTP" on the desktop.

If you do not have a folder setup for your recordings please do so at this time. This menu allows you to assign a path directory for your camera. Step 6: Click on the "Shared folders" option located in the "Page" menu. Once the Password checkbox has been enabled, enter a password for your user account. Step 5: Make sure the "Enable account" checkbox is marked as well as the "Password" checkbox. As a reminder, this will be the user account name for your FTP server. The user name created will be entered into the Users menu. As a recommendation, enter "admin" in the user account field and click "OK" when done. This menus allows you to create a user account for your server. Step 4: Click on "Add" in the Users menu. Click on Edit in the top menu bar and select "Users" from the dropdown menu. Step 3: A red error message will appear, do not worry this is normal and will be resolved in the setup process. You do not need to set any settings in this menu, click Connect to continue. Once the installation is complete you will be taken to the "Enter server to administrate" menu. Step 2: Follow the on screen instructions for the software and complete the installation.

In this example we will be using Windows. Note: There are 2 options listed on this page, one for all platforms and one that supports only Windows.
