ftp
The ftp command uses the standard File Transfer Protocol (FTP) for
transferring an image from your AXIS 240 to a remote host.
Note:
❏ The ftp command keeps the connection open during each file
transfer.
Syntax
ftp [-host HOST] [-user USERNAME] [-pass PASSWORD]
[-src SOURCEFILE] [-dest DESTINATIONFILE]
[-temp TEMPORARY_DESTINATION_NAME] [-loop LOOPTIME]
[-time TOTALTIME] [-cam CAMERANUMBER]
[-buffer BUFFERTYPE];
Options
-host Specifies the name or IP address of the remote host. If
specifying the name, performance will be slightly decreased due
to the DNS lookup. If no host is specified, the compiler will
complain.
-user Specifies the user name for logging on to the remote host. If no
user name is specified, the compiler will complain.
-pass Specifies the password for logging on to the remote host.
-src Specifies the source file name. If omitted, the fullsize.jpg
file will be sent. To include the image buffer, specify
images/buffer.jpg.
-dest
Specifies the name and whole path of the destination file. If
omitted, the destination file name will be the same as the
source file name. The maximum length of a destination file
name is 255 characters. You can add as many destination files
as required, separated by a space.
You can add time stamps, such as time, date and file indexes, to
the destination file name. This is useful for example when you
are transferring a series of files.
The following table lists the available time stamp variables.
Every substitution must be proceeded by a dollar sign 
