Setting Up a Computer as a File Server

To send data from the machine to a computer on your network, you need to specify the settings of the computer for receiving data.

You can send data over a TCP/IP network to any of the following:

  • FTP server (Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/Vista, UNIX, Linux, Mac OS X, iW Document Manager Gateway)
  • WebDAV server (Windows 2000 Server/2000 Professional/XP/Server 2003, UNIX, Linux, Mac OS X)
  • Windows shared folder (Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003)
  • Samba shared folder (UNIX/Linux/Mac OS X)

This section describes how to set up a computer as an FTP/WebDAV server.

For instructions on how to configure a Windows and Samba shared folder, see "Setting Up a Computer as a File Server."

Remark
  • Optional equipment is required to send data from the machine. For the equipment needed, see "Optional Equipment and System Requirements."
  • Samba 2.2.8a or later is supported.
  • This section describes only the procedures for setting up a computer to receive data sent from the machine. To send data from the machine to a server on the network, you must enter an address setting from the control panel. For instructions on how to specify recipient address settings, see "Using the Main Unit to Send/Receive."
