Send pictures straight from a Nikon
How to set a Nikon up to send its pictures straight into the party's gallery during the evening.
The address and the port
Server: bridge01.whatwemissed.com · Port: 54000
This is what the details look like. The exact server address is on the settings card you get from the host — copy it from there along with the username and the password. The port is never 21.
The steps are not written yet
We have not had a Nikon body in our hands, and we would rather write no steps than the wrong ones. The connection works the same way: FTPS, passive mode, JPEG, and the details from the settings card. Get in touch if anything is unclear and we will write the steps for your body.
Four things that hold whatever the camera body is
- JPEG or HEIF is accepted. RAW is refused — the files are too large and need developing, and that is not something that should happen in the middle of a dinner.
- FTPS (explicit TLS) is the default. Unencrypted FTP can be turned on by the host, but should not be used: both the password and the pictures then cross the network unprotected.
- There is no directory structure to navigate. The server receives files and does nothing else — it cannot list, fetch or delete anything.
- The feed stops accepting when the album's window closes, and the host can revoke it at any time.
