When you choose Scan to FTP, you can scan a black and white or color document directly to an FTP server
on your local network, or on the internet.
In order to scan to FTP, you will need to know the location of your FTP server, together with a username and
password. These credentials can either be entered manually or stored in profiles within the machine itself. To
create profiles on your Brother machine, you’ll need to use a computer with a web browser. Using a profile
eliminates the need to enter your credentials every time you need to scan to FTP. The details required to use
Scan to FTP can be entered by using Web Based Management to pre-configure and store the details in an
FTP Profile.
