Overview
This section will describe how to set up a WFT FTP Mode infrastructure network on an Apple Macintosh running OS X 10.5-10.6. FTP Mode allows you to wirelessly transfer captured images to a computer that is set up as a remote FTP server. Image files can be transferred from the camera automatically or manually selected from the FTP server directory.
This setup allows you to assign a login name
and password. It assumes that the router has been set up for DHCP with WEP security enabled. It therefore requires a WEP login and will not work without one. You will also need a wireless network router to serve as the access point. Do not attempt to change the settings on any computer or network without the explicit permission of the owner or administrator.
