Hello,
I'd like to enable the ftp upolad, I read the instruction but I wrong something because it doesn't work....:-(

I'd like to upload to my host a picture every 30 seconds, and I like to maintain all the picture I upload.
herebelow the setting I input, can you tell me if they are ok?
---------------------------------------
FTP ACTIVE: YES
FTP FILENAME:
USE TIME FOR FILE NAME: ON
FTP HOST: (MY HOST NUMBER)
FTP PORT: 21
FTP DIRECTORY: wwwroot/abel
FTP USERNAME: (MY USERNAME)
FTP PASSWORD: (MY PASSWORD)
SAVE ON WEB ACCESS: OFF
SAVE WITH CAPTION: ON
OFFLINE IMAGE TO UPLOAD: OFF
-----------------------------------

then:
.- can you tell me what is option "Save on web access" and "Offline image to upload" ?

.- in the Wiki in FTP upload I see "Test settings - click on Test Configuration to see if your settings work.",
but I need to configure my webcam from my remote computer, via web with server-admin and ther's not the Test
configuration button, ther's a way to check the configuration ?


thanks for your help.

Hi Lara

usually when something goes wrong in the initial FTP configuration it's the ftp directory.
You may have to use a absolute path (starting with /) and not the relative one you're using.

Verify that using the command line ftp tool which comes with windows.

- Save on web access
uploads a image every time a image is served through AbelCams webserver

- offline image to upload
if you're using the uploaded image to be shown on a web server, you can use this to display a image when the abelcam camera is offline
