Ad Hoc Network Setup
Overview
FTP Mode allows you to wirelessly transfer images from your EOS DSLR to a WiFi-enabled computer that you have set up as a remote FTP server. The EOS Wireless File Transmitter will function as the FTP client.
This guide will describe how to create an ad hoc network FTP server on a PC running the Premium or Professional versions of Microsoft Windows 7. If you do not have either version installed on your PC you will either need to upgrade or, if you prefer, you can use one of the available third-party FTP server soft-
ware applications. Follow the software provider’s instructions for how to configure the server, login, password, and Windows firewall.
This setup requires you to assign a login name, password and WEP encryption. Please check to be sure you are operating in a secure environment before setup. Do not change the network settings on any computer without the permission of the network administrator. Be sure to write down your original network settings so that you can restore them later when necessary.
