If you’re wondering how to enable the FT server on Axis cameras, this is the right place. Here we will show via screenshots and clear instructions on how to enable the FTP server regardless if your Axis camera uses the old or the new interface.

The FTP server is useful when you need to upgrade a camera’s firmware or if you want to make the camera communicate with a server. By using this protocol, you can store the footage and snapshots on an external server which increases the level of redundancy of your camera system.

Enable the FTP server on Axis cameras

As we mentioned, there are two types of Axis cameras out there, the one that uses the old firmware (the legacy) and the newer camera that uses a new interface. Below we will show the steps for both cases.

FTP on Axis old cameras or old web interface

You’ll know that your camera’s using the old interface (and firmware version) if it’s similar to the one on the screenshot.

Once you access the camera via the web browser, you should see the menu on the left side of the screen. Follow these steps:

  • Login to the via by entering the IP address and credentials via the web browser.
  • On the Menu, navigate to System Option > Advanced > Plain Config.

To confirm it, you can test it out by using the command prompt on your computer. Open up the command prompt (just type “cmd” on the Windows search box), and then type this command: ftp followed by the camera’s IP address (for example, ftp 192.168.1.101).
