FTP from DVR - Can I use my web server

Recommended Posts

Has anyone any experience of FTPing images to server?

 

I have a DVR which allows images to be FTP'd in certain circumstances. What I would like to know is whether it's possible to use my web server to upload the images to? It's hosting server for a number of web sites but I would thinking I could create a folder within one of the domains to FTP the images to???

 

Anyone have any thoughts?

 

Thanks

Yup, that will work just fine.

 

I was hoping but alas it doesn't seem to.. Not connecting via FTP

 

You do have a FTP server and FTP account, don't you...?

Yes, on my own web server. I can FTP to and from using CuteFTP but the DVR doesn't send anything to it.

 

Sounds like you may need to switch to a binary mode on the FTP connection, or may also be an active vs passive FTP mode issue.

 

May also be the DVR is trying to use SFTP or FTPS which would be on a different port then FTP.

 

You either need to review your logs or run a packet capture to see what is happening on the wire, this will let you know what is going on.
