Warning: Mac 10.7 (Lion) removes the FTP client service. (see instructions below to reinstall FTP services).

This tutorial shows how to install and configure the FTP service on MAC 10.4.-10.9. systems for Sharp MX series to scan to FTP, and how to setup the FTP scan destination using the built-in web interface of the Sharp MFP. 


See the PDF (bottom of page) for instructions.
