Scanning to FTP

[AlanJBarnett]

Hi Guys, I am a remote worker that needs to be able to scan legal documents into my employers corporate data, my IT department dont like the idea of setting up a VPN from the local machine to gain access scans folder and being on a different network this causes headaches.

What they have said is that I can setup my printer to scan to FTP and this will send all of my papers to the folders they require.

Unfortunately my HP M276N supports scan folder, can I configure the printer to point to FTP site instead of a network folder?

Hope this makes sense.

Hi,

I afradi not, Scanning to an FTP server is a completely different feature which is provided by higher end Laserjet MFPs.

The M276 only support scannign to a shared folder on a local network using SMB, it does not offer direct scanning to an FTP server.

You may setup an outgoing SMTP account and use the Scan to Email feature instead, that allow scannng remotely by sending the scan via email automatically, that should meet better such a need to scan to a remote location.
