10.4 FTP connection

An FTP connection can be used to transfer files between the camcorder and an external
computer. Follow these steps to set up a working connection:
1. Use an Ethernet (UTP) network cable to connect the camcorder with a remote computer.
The cable can be a crossover or a straight-through type. Plug the cable into Ethernet
connector 1 on the right-side panel of the camcorder.
2. Use automatic network setting (DHCP) on your remote computer (it may take a few
seconds for the IP-address to be assigned) or use manual settings (IP-address is
169.254.1.100 and subnet mask is 255.255.255.0)
3. Install an FTP client on the remote computer.
4. Use the following settings for the FTP client (refer to the documentation of your software
for more information)
–userid: any (not blank);
password: any (not blank);
IP-address: 169.254.1.218;
remote port: 21 (default);
5. Use the FTP client to log in into the camcorder system. By default, the contents of the
system’s root directory will be shown.
