Set it up
-
Open the Admin Panel and navigate to the Sharing tab, followed by the FTP tab, and enable Upload images via FTP.
-
Fill in your FTP server address, the FTP path you want photos uploaded into, and the FTP username and FTP password for that account.
-
Select Test FTP to confirm the details are correct and the booth can actually reach that server, rather than finding out something’s wrong partway through a live event.
-
Select Save once everything’s filled in and tested.
How uploads happen
From that point on, nothing needs uploading in the moment a guest’s session ends – each photo joins the Upload Queue the instant a guest reaches the Print screen, and the queue sends it on to your FTP server whenever the booth has an internet connection.
Good to know: No internet at the venue?
The booth itself never needs to be online during the event: if the venue’s Wi-Fi is patchy, or there isn’t any, photos simply queue up and go out once you’re back on a connection, even if that’s not until you’re packing down or home again.
Upload RAW images too
Switch on Upload RAW images too and the untouched original straight from the camera – before any overlays, filters, or print layout – is sent to the same FTP server alongside the finished photo.
Turn it off
Switch Upload images via FTP off at any time to stop sending to that server. Your server address, path, and login details stay saved, so turning it back on later doesn’t mean typing them in again.
