Z 7 documents camera-initiated FTP or SFTP transfer over Ethernet or Wi-Fi via WT-7. For Camera to Anywhere, prefer SFTP with a scoped input-gallery account and send JPEG, NEF (RAW), or movie files directly from the camera; downstream cloud and NAS routes run only after ingest is complete.
Menu path: Setup menu > Network > Network settings > Create profile > Choose network > FTP server profile > Network connection > Enable. Protocols: FTP · SFTP. Sends: JPEG · NEF (RAW) · movie files.
Documented from the manufacturer manual. Sources reviewed .
The camera and ingest listener must use the same FTP-family protocol.
Camera FTP fields expect a server address, not a browser URL.
Camera to Anywhere may expose different listeners for FTP, explicit FTPS, or SFTP; do not assume a default.
A scoped identity lets the gateway route and revoke one camera without changing every shooter.
The gateway rejects anonymous uploads and uses the credential envelope only for this input.
The path is a routing key; changing its spelling can create a different server folder.
Passive data connections are usually more compatible with hotspots and venue firewalls.
Choose built-in Ethernet/Wi-Fi or the attached Nikon communication hardware.

Use current Z 7 and WT-7 firmware; built-in SnapBridge Wi-Fi alone is not the documented FTP path. Physical Camera to Anywhere interoperability is not yet lab-verified.
Confirm the camera has an IP address, the hotspot has Internet access, the host field contains no URL scheme/path, and the venue permits the published control and data ports.
Re-enter the scoped username and secret, preserve case, and copy the target directory exactly; create a fresh ingest credential if the secret may have been exposed.
Check remaining card space, battery/power, hotspot sleep settings, passive-mode configuration, signal strength, gateway size limits, and whether the camera permits that file type in the selected transfer mode.
Use the passive-mode value from Camera to Anywhere and confirm the network allows the FTP data-port range.
First verify the input gallery received the complete file, then inspect routing-node status; camera success covers the ingest hop, not Dropbox, NAS, or another downstream destination.
Use a unique camera/job prefix and review the body manual overwrite/rename setting; Camera to Anywhere should deduplicate by upload identity and checksum rather than filename alone.
