FTP Mode Infrastructure Network Setup Overview FTP Mode allows you to wirelessly transfer images you capture on your EOS DSLR to a WiFi-enabled computer that you have set up as a remote FTP server. The EOS Wireless File Transmitter will function as the FTP client. This guide will describe how to create an infrastructure network FTP server on a PC running the Premium or Professional versions of Microsoft Windows 7. If you do not have either version installed on your PC you will either need to upgrade or, if you prefer, you can use one of the available third-party FTP server software applications.
