2. Configure the FTP settings, including server address, port, user name, password, and
directory.
Note:
The server address supports both the domain name and IP address formats.
For your privacy and to better protect your system against security risks, we strongly
recommend the use of strong passwords for all functions and network devices. The
password should be something of your own choosing (using a minimum of 8 characters,
including upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers and special characters) in order
to increase the security of your product.
Proper configuration of all passwords and other security settings is the responsibility of
the installer and/or end-user.
