#Connect to ftp from mac software#

The cruel thing for me is that on my computer, I can easily enter an address and get the shared folder where documents used to be stored to come up. I have spent the last few hours trying to get SMB to work but no combination of guesses gets the documents through to my server. Worked a treat until the other day when Apple decided that FTP was no longer worth holding on to. I have a beautiful old $15,000 dollar Fujixerox Document Centre printer complete with A4 / A3 scanning and printing. Login is the username and password you use to login to your computer. Path is the folder name and mine is: Scans Port: I don't think it matters but the default on mine was '445'

Host Name: is the exact computer name from the mac On my Kyocera under machine address book i add a new entry and then enter the info under the SMB section: You will need this exact name for setting up your scanner 'host name' Note: on the sharing screen under computer name you will see the official name of your computer. Click the plus sign and then add the folder that you want to scan to. That should bring you back to the screen with a 'Shared Flolders' column. On my mac, System Preferences/Sharing then check file sharing, then click options and make sure you check 'Share Files and folders using SMB' click done.

In the past SMB did not work with my machine and my mac but now does.

I then spoke with the Technical Service at Kyocera and they told me the best option was to use SMB.

I tried the suggestion of downloading the 3rd party FTP software but could not get it to configure with my Kyocera. Unfortunately, FTP is no longer supported with High Sierra. I have been using FTP for many years and no problems. I have a Kyocera TASKalfa 2551ci multi function machine.
