Because the browser is local when using fireftp but when using it through dlink, youre doing things remotely, so more security in place if a firewall is in the way. | Kame (312) | ||
| 1409369 | 2015-10-03 20:13:00 | I can see how that would work in theory (I think). The problem in my situation is that email notification will leave me with hundreds if not thousands of emails to trawl through every day (one for each triggered detection) - which is why I am not setting up email notification. I want each detection to just load an image somewhere so I can then scan through them quickly and stop at ones that are relevant. I can get the images to be stored on an SD card on the camera, but there is no easy way to access those either thanks to DLink's convoluted interface. Even if I were to physically remove the card and plug it into the PC it would be a real pain (trust me). Ok then, in my instructions, just dont autoforward to your regular email address. All I did then was to share the camera's google drive folder with myself...and there existing a time based list of photos that aren't stored locally at my house, ie requireing a machine to b set up. I also took something from teh email notification that set a folder based on teh camera name (I have 2). So you don't ever see the forwarded emails so they dont overload you. Its just a mechanism to get teh photos to some sotrage somewhere. |

| 1409370 | 2015-10-03 22:55:00 | OK, I've found the problem, but I'm not sure why it is happening. I set up a different FTP server (Xlight) that gives decent logging, and found I was getting "permission denied" when Dlink tried to store a test doc in the designated folder. I changed the target folder to users\public\pictures, and it worked OK - hallelujah! What I don't understand is why I couldn't save it where I wanted - I'm not sure what permission I have to set to make it work. |

I find it to be very domineering compared to Windows 7. |
