OverviewFTP Mode allows you to wirelessly transfer images you capture on your EOS DSLR to a WiFi-enabled computer that you have set up as a remote FTP server. The EOS Wireless File Transmitter will func-tion as the FTP client.
This setup guide will describe how to create an ad hoc FTP network on a PC running the Profes-sional versions of Microsoft Windows XP. You must first install Internet Information Services (IIS) and FTP Service, which is available on the Professional installation CD. For detailed information on how to install IIS, please visit http://www.microsoft.com/ resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/ en-us/iiiisin2.mspx?mfr=true.
If you prefer, or if are using a version of Win-dows that does not support IIS, you can use one of the many third-party FTP server software ap-plication available. 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 if you choose.

Once the ad hoc network is set up you can turn the camera off and back on again. When you turn it back on it will automatically reconnect. When you have finished using FTP mode, return to the WFT settings menu to select
[Discon-nect.]
How to Disconnect
Once the adhoc network is set up you can turn the camera off and back on again. When you turn it back on it will automatically reconnect. If you have disconnected the network you must return to the WFT settings menu, re-select [FTP
trans.], and repeat the PC setup steps.
1. When you set up an ad hoc manual FTP network con-nection, you must disconnect from whatever network setup you previously had. You will then have to re-con-nect your original network setup once you’re through with the FTP connection. Reverse the TCP/IP connec-tion from manual to DHCP (or the original manual IP address), then reselect the network being distributed by the router.
2. The ad hoc network is temporary. When you switch back to your normal configuration the ad hoc network settings on your PC will disappear and must therefore be set up again for re-use.
