How to download camera data using WinSCP
WinSCP installation
You will need a secure file transfer software to download the pictures into your laptop. One of the options is WinSCP, here is a direct download link.
Note: When installing WinSCP, it may offer you Google Chrome installation or perhaps something else as a bundle. You do not need Google Chrome to communicate with the DFN camera. Skip the Google Chrome installation by un-checking the "Include Google Chrome, along with the WinSCP" unless you really want Chrome as well.
Select “Explorer interface” when asked during the installation. (If you miss this one, it can be changed later.) When the installation is finished, WinSCP is launched automatically.
Initial WinSCP configuration
Create a new connection – see screenshots below. The camera host IP address in this example is 172.16.0.101 (local WiFi connection at the camera site). Use the appropriate IP address corresponding to connection used. (More on connecting to camera here.)
More detailed instructions how to use WinSCP are in pdf format here: File:WinSCP connection to camera.pdf, including screenshots.
Setting up ssh key in WinSCP
If you use ssh terminal to connect to the camera systems, you probably already have a ssh key pair generated and installed on your computer and the target camera system(s). In that case, please follow these instructions to tell WinSCP where your private ssh key is on your computer. Alternatively, you can use pageant.
If you have never used ssh keys before, have a look at the DFN wiki here and there is also a good general information on using ssh keys in WinSCP on their web site.
