FTPS support configuration on the HP CR Server

FTP support is installed, by default, for HP CR. To verify that FTP support is properly installed, complete the procedure in Adding a network folder, if you have not already done so.

 

1. Install and configure the HP CR Web Client.
2. Open the Web Client.
3. Select Messages > New.
4. In the New Message dialog, select Folder from Recipient Type.
5. Select a Format for the delivery.
6. Click Add and select a Folder from the configured Folder destinations.
7. Click OK and then Send to send the message to the HP CR Server.

• The job will be delivered to the destination via FTP.

 

Method One: Creating an Embedded Directive for use with FTP(S)

1. Open the Web Client and select Distributions > New.
2. In the New Message dialog, select Network Folder as the Type.
3. In the Select destination drop-down select the FTP folder.

8. Scan a document.

Method Two: Creating a new button on the device using FTP(S) to a network folder

2. Right-click on the device group and select Properties.
3. Click on the Buttons tab and select Add.
4. In the Add Button dialog, select Scan to Distribution in the Type drop-down.

8. To choose a Scan Distribution, click the Select button.

9. Search for and locate the Embedded Directive that will send via FTP to a network folder. Highlight the Embedded Directive and click Select.
