Ftp File Transfer - Canon EOS C700 Instruction Manual

FTP File Transfer

You can transfer sub recording clips (XF-AVC Proxy) from the camera to another device connected to the
network, using the FTP protocol.
The following explanations assume that the FTP server is on, ready and correctly configured.
Preparations
Before you can transfer XF-AVC Proxy clips to a connected device, you need to configure the FTP server
settings and other settings related to the handling of folders and files. If necessary, consult the network
administrator in charge of the FTP server.
