ProScan: USB vs Web Server to access files in SDS200

[TongSlinger]

Today i set up the web server to connect to my SDS200. after using the USB connection for the last six months with no issues at all. Now, when I try to put the scanner into file manager mode it doesn't even give me the opportunity to upload systems from ProScan. It starts scanning right away. Do I have to connect the USB cable to access the scanners file manager?

Tks

Yes. A USB cable is required to put the scanner in Mass Storage mode. If you want to read or write the favorites without a USB cable then the FTP Mode is the way to go.

I was able to read the scanner in read only mode using FTP. When I tried using FTP to upload, it asked for user/password. Where is that info?

-
From the scanner's menu system... Settings ---> Lan Settings ---> Set FTP Server ---> Set Writeable Account

Thanks!

If I knew FTP that well i would have ditched the USB along time ago!

Don't use the same user name for the Ready only and write only account. The scanner will let you do it but it will cause problems.
