It can be other than default port 21. If you find that you want to
change the port to a port number
other than 21, you will need
to specify the port when connecting to the FTP server. For
example FTP://68.5.1.81:60 (if you are to use port 60 for your
FTP server port)
The domain name or IP address of the external FTP server.
The following user settings must be correctly configured for
remote access.
Granted user name on the external FTP server.
Granted password on the external FTP server.
Granted folder on the external FTP server. The string must
conform to the external FTP server. Some FTP servers cannot
accept a preceding slash symbol before the path if there is no
virtual path mapping. Refer to the instructions of the external
FTP server for details. The folder privilege must be open for
upload.
If the
DCS-2100
is located inside a network that is protected by
a firewall, a data connection for FTP may be prohibited. Passive
mode FTP can bypass this rule and allow the uploading of
snapshots. If the passive mode is selected, the
DCS-2100
can
automatically attempt to upload
in active mode if the external
FTP server does not support passive mode.

Using the DCS-2100 with an Internet Browser
Dynamic DNS (Domain Name Service) is a method of keeping
a domain name linked to a changing (dynamic) IP address.
With most Cable and DSL connections, you are assigned a
dynamic IP address and that address is used only for the
duration of that specific connection. With the
DCS-2100
, you
can set up your DDNS service and the
DCS-2100
will
automatically update your DDNS server every time it receives
a different IP address. Depending on the service, this update
may take a few hours.
Click to enable the DDNS function.
Select your Dynamic DNS provider from the pull down menu.
Enter the host name of the DDNS server.
Dynamic DNS
(DDNS):
Enable DDNS:

Click the DDNS & UPnP
button from the Configuration screen to access DDNS &
UPnP settings.
