Using FTP 

Netcam Watcher Professional can use FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to send 

cameras latest pictures and/or alarm pictures to a remote host. If the remote 

host is an Internet web server then you can then view these images from across 

the Internet. 

There are two parts to getting this working. Firstly you configure the remote host 

by using File > FTP Settings 

This opens a simple dialog that lets you specify details about the remote host: 

Remote Host e.g. 

www.myserver.com

 or 192.111.333.123 

Username 

Password 

Remote Path you can put the pathname here to store the pictures or 

leave blank for the default folder. 

Alarm Remote Path similar to Remote Path but for alarm images. 

Use Passive Mode often this works best if you have a firewall 

Write FTP Log file writes a log file to FTPLOG.TXT in the Netcam Watcher 

Program Folder. 

The second part is set up on a per camera basis, by clicking the FTP button on 

the Edit Camera dialog. 

You can select whether to send pictures at regular intervals, or when an alarm 

occurs, also the frequency and filenames to use. You can also check a box to 

ensure that the camera returns to home position (preset #1) before a regular 

FTP.
