... via the FTP/FTPS Connection
FTP
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) allows the exchange of data between
the print server and an FTP client in TCP/IP networks.
FTP over SSL
The print server also supports FTPS (FTP over SSL) for a safe data
interchange between the print server and the client. FTPS is an
encrypted procedure for file transfers. The encryption of the control
channel and the data channel is done via the SSL or TLS
authentication.
We recommend using SSL. This way, no unencrypted user names,
passwords, and data can be read by unauthorized persons. In order
to use FTPS, you must install an FTP client on your computer that
supports FTPS.
