Download and install Filezilla FTP Server
Link here for the PC version
https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=server
Here is a Youtube video on how to install it and get it to start automatically
– I didn’t bother with setting an Admin password but I have enabled logging (but you may not be interested in that). I also didn’t create a Group. I only popped in my Windows user name name and password as a user.
Run Filezilla Server and choose the default Server of 127.0.0.1 and also accept the default Admin
And you should see it logged in
Now we need to set-up an FTP server for the 1Dx to connect to.
Click Edit > Settings > Passive mode settings. Now put in the IP address that you set to be fixed for your Network Card 10.1.1.1 then click OK
We now need to give access to our FTP server to a user – i.e. you.
You can create a separate user here but I am just going to use my Windows user account.
Click Edit > Users
Click Enable account and then Add and type in your Windows user name.
Now click on Shared folders.
Click on your name under Users, then under the Shared folders click Add and navigate to a folder where you want your images to go - N.b. It will create a subfolders A\DCIM\100EOS1D. This will be the folder that you are getting Photomechanic or your image editing program to look at.
n.b. I couldn’t get it to work unless I had all the boxes tick under Files and Directories in the Shared Folders section above.
Click OK and you are done with Filezilla.
Now on the 1Dx
Use the wheel to scroll or the Multi controller to move around.
Menu > Yellow Setup 3 Page > Communication settings > Communication func – change to Enable
Go down to Network Settings > Communication Mode > FTP trans >
Connection Wizard > Select communication method = FTP Trans >
Lan type = Wired > it will say busy please wait then you will see
Network > Manual setting > IP address set. = Manual setting
> IP address > using the wheel scroll until you get to the first part of the IP address. Scroll the wheel until it is on 10 then press SET to go to the 2nd part. Carry on until you get to the fourth part –
here choose a number above the IP address of your Network card – in my case I will chose 2, then go down and do the same for the Subnet Mask 255.255.255.192 >
Gateway > Disable > DNS address > Disable >
FTP server > Address > here you set the IP address of your network card – in our case 10.1.1.1 > Port number – leave as 00021 > Passive mode - Enable > Proxy server – disable >
Login method > Login password > this will come up as anonymous, press the bin button on the camera continuously until anonymous has gone, then press the Q button (just above the scroll wheel on the back), this will take you to the letters, characters and number box, use the wheel or multi-controller and the SET button and type in your Windows login name and then press Menu.
Press the Bin button to delete the password. Press the Q button to get to the letters, characters and number box and as before use the wheel and SET button to type in your Windows password and press menu when done – remember this is case sensitive.
Target folder leave as Root folder > and IF all is well you will see a message Connected to FTP Server.
Click OK and you will get the chance to save the settings as a Set. If you haven’t already got any Sets saved then it should come up with Set 1, select that and click OK.
If you make any mistakes you may need to go back and start again.
You are now done – yippee.
By default the Camera will be set to transfer images with the SET button, IF you want all images go back in to the network Settings menu and choose Set Up
Make sure by LAN setting you have chosen the Set number you chose earlier. Here you can change to Automatic transfer and disable Transfer wit SET.
