Path/File

This field combines two elements, the image filename, preceded by an optional path or directory. Consult with your hosting company to determine if you need to specify a path. If you don’t, you simply put the desired name of the image file here.

Example Without Path: netcam.jpg

Example With Path: /html/images/netcam.jpg

Advanced Fields

Rotating Archive

If enabled, NetCam will use a renaming scheme to store the current 10 images on your server. A hyphen, followed by the archive number (0-9) is automatically appended to the end of the filenames.

Default: Off

Passive Mode

If NetCam is behind a proxy server, enable passive mode. If you are unsure if you need passive mode, it is usually safe to enable it anyway.

Default: On

Timeout

If the FTP transfer is unsuccessful, Netcam will abort and re-initiate the process after the specified amount of seconds.

Default: 120

Delete Before Rename

NetCam employs a file renaming scheme, which greatly reduces the possibility of file collisions between NetCam uploading an image and view- ers downloading the image. The image is uploaded with a .tmp extension. Once uploaded the tmp file is renamed without the .tmp extension. Certain FTP/Web servers do not allow a file to be renamed to a filename that already exists. To get around this problem, enable Delete Before Rename.

Default: Off

IIS 4.0

Some FTP servers lock a file when a file with the same filename is constantly uploaded and renamed. If you have problems seeing your image update on your web site, try enabling the IIS 4.0 option. This option is only valid if Delete Before Rename (above) is also enabled.

Default: Off
