Upload photos and videos to an FTP server

An Eye-Fi Card enabled with the Online Sharing service can be set to upload photos to a publicly accessible FTP server instead of a typical photo sharing site (“publicly accessible” in this instance is defined as an FTP server that can be accessed over any network, not just the local network). FTP support allows you to send photos (JPEG & RAW) and videos from your Eye-Fi Card via the Eye-Fi server to personal and corporate FTP servers that are using passive mode, and either the FTP or FTPS protocols. Choosing to upload photos and videos to a corporate or private FTP server is as simple as choosing any other online photo or video destination Eye-Fi supports.

  1. Launch Eye-Fi Center

  2. Click the Settings gear icon to open the Settings panel

  3. Click the "Photos" tab. Note: for RAW images choose the "RAW" tab and for Video choose the "Videos" tab

  4. Click the "Online" tab and then select the "Share photos online" checkbox to enable uploads to an online photo sharing site

  5. Click the "More Sites" button

  6. Select the "Sharing" category from the drop down menu in order to view the FTP sharing option. Select the FTP option by clicking the FTP icon

  7. Enter your username, password and the URL in the form ftp://hostname/path for your FTP server. Depending on your FTP server encryption, select either "Encrypted TLS/SSL connection" (FTPS) or "Unencrypted connection" (FTP). When all info has been entered, click the "Connect card to FTP server" button. When done the window that opened will close and return you to Eye-Fi Center

  8. You will now see that FTP server has been selected and in now your active online destination

  9. Click the "Save" button
