# How do I transfer images to an FTP server?

Use the FTP tab to configure the settings necessary to transfer images to an FTP server. The tab contains settings for the IP address and port number of the server as well as a username and password combination. Be aware that images sent using FTP are not guaranteed to be sent, which can happen when the reader is operating at a higher frequency and cannot schedule time for transfer of images. Also note that transfer over wireless links may be much slower than regular network communication. In such cases, it is recommended to use downsampled/compressed images.

The File Name options allow you to specify the file where the images will be stored. The File Name field allows you to specify a path in relation to the FTP server's root directory (for example, /failed_images/image). The filename extension (.jpg or .bmp) presented in the label following the file name matches the image format setting on the Buffered Image Settings pane. Be aware that the reader does not create directories; the directory must be available and accessible.

The Max Append Value control indicates the limit of the increment value used in the file name. A value of 0 indicates that no increment will be appended and the file can be overwritten.

The Script Generated File Name allows you to write a script generating the file name on the Scripting pane's FTP Storage tab.

The Server Generated File Name option starts with a blank path, which indicates the root directory of the FTP server.
