UNIX

Return to Overview


Remark
  • UNIX users must have Solaris 2.6 or later installed in order to use the computer as an FTP server.
  • In some environments, detailed settings may be required in order to use FTP. For details, consult your network manager.
  1. Log in to a workstation as a super user.
  1. Set up the users who send documents from the machine, and their passwords.

Enter a user name and a password not longer than 24 alphanumeric characters.

  1. Create a shared directory to be used for destination addresses, and then enable read access and write access by the users who will be sending data.
  1. Set a destination address using the control panel.

Set the information checked from steps 1 through 3 in the machine.

Sample destination setting:

  • Server side settings:
[Host name]: starfish
[Domain]: organization.company.com
The user's home directory is /home/hsato, and /home/hsato/share is the data destination.

  • The machine's destination settings:
<Register Name>: The destination's name
The server protocol: <FTP>
<Host Name>: starfish.organization.company.com
<Folder Path>: Enter one of the following:
share (when using relative path)/home/hsato/share (when using absolute path)
<User Name>: User name entered in step 2
<Password>: Password for the above user
  • To use [Full computer name], which was confirmed in step 4, as the host name for <Host Name> as shown in the example, it is necessary to use a DNS server. (This applies even if the machine and the FTP server are in the same subnet.) If no DNS server is available, the host name setting should be specified using the IP address of the FTP server.
  • A maximum of 120 alphanumeric characters can be entered for both <Host Name> and <Folder Path> on the display.
  • If you switch the language of the display, <Host Name> and <Folder Path> may not be displayed correctly.
  • Registering a destination in the Address Book or One-touch saves you the effort of entering that destination's address each time you send a job. For instructions on how to register a destination in the Address Book or One-touch, see "Registering Destinations in the Address Book."
