I’m a happy owner of 2 x 2TB WDMyCloud drives for over three years now and they are both working fine (more or less - one has a red LED on all the time but still works fine)…
I’m trying to save some video footage from an IP camera directly via FTP into a share on MyCloud but I can’t seem to find anywhere the link of the FTP to properly set the IP camera.
Can anyone help please with some examples of links and how to identify my link to my share?
Yes, I have enabled the FTP feature in Network Services and on the user share but where can I find this URL link text please? Thanks guys.
Would attach some screen shots but haven’t figured out yet how to do that on this forum…still working on it…
Here is what my IP Cam needs: a path which I can’t figure out…
Port should be 21. That is normal for FTP transactions.
the “Path” part is where you are going to be storing the camera feeds. It is a path relative to the root of the FTP server.
MyCloud’s FTP implementation shows FTP accessible shares as if they were folders under the root, so if you have a share you have created for camera feeds, let’s call it “Camera_Feeds”, you would give it a path like this
Test the path by using another FTP client, like FileZilla (https://filezilla-project.org/). That will at least confirm if FTP is working properly on the My Cloud and if the Share can be reached.
Huh? The link I provided goes to FileZilla website where one can download the free FileZilla FTP program to their computer. The point is to use an alternate program to test for FTP access including the ability to write files to the My Cloud using FTP.
Try entering just the share name for the path. Don’t include the ftp & IP prefix. You have already told it that it is using FTP, and given it the IP address and port. You don’t need to provide those values in the Path. The Path is just the folder location on the FTP server you have identified.
