G900SE
The G900SE uses built-in Wi-Fi and an ST-20-created communication list to send stills and movies to a configurable FTP or FTPS endpoint. The camera imports the list, selects a W/LESS LAN (FTP) destination, and supports playback, quick-send, automatic, and power-off batch behavior.

File behavior is quoted conservatively until a Camera to Anywhere fixture reproduces it.
playback File Send / one-touch or two-touch quick send / automatic transfer after capture / queued still or still-plus-movie transfer at power-off
Transfer can begin from the documented camera-side behavior shown here.
Documented.
Not lab-verified.
Use firmware 1.06. Ricoh states that this update cannot be rolled back to 1.05 or earlier. Physical Camera to Anywhere interoperability is not yet lab-verified.

- 05
Camera to Anywhere endpoint host/IP, port, credentials, directory, encryption choice, and PEM/DER certificate when required.
Destination server
Camera to Anywhere hostname or IP address.Identifies the FTP/FTPS receiver.
User ID and password
The issued per-source credentials.Authenticates and isolates this source.
Folder
The assigned remote input path.Routes files to the intended workflow.
Overwrite duplicate names
Leave unchecked for a safe first test.Unchecked duplicates are not transferred rather than replacing an existing server file.
PASV
Check for the normal NAT/firewall-compatible FTP data path.Avoids an inbound active-mode connection to the camera.
Port
The endpoint's exact assigned port.Must match the ingress listener.
Encryption
FTP, Explicit FTPS, or Implicit FTPS to match the endpoint.Controls TLS negotiation.
Certificate file
A PEM or DER certificate/root file when FTPS requires it.The certificate is transferred to the camera for trust validation.
ESS-ID / Network Key
The venue SSID and Wi-Fi credential.Connects the camera in station mode.
WHAT ACTUALLY MOVESTransfer behavior,
Transfer behavior,
without the guesswork.
- Playback File Send: one, all, individually selected, or range
- 1Touch during instant review
- 2Touch from instant review
- Auto send after capture
- Transmit Power Off batch
- Destination choice per transfer when Send Status is On
- File Send handles captured still images and recorded movie files.
- Quick-send Auto ignores the Image File Size setting and sends the original capture.
- Image File Size can resize other transfer modes when configured.
- Auto Delete can remove successfully sent images and should remain disabled during rollout.
- Support settings include retry count, access-point timeout, ping, logs, and retained WLAN connection.
- ST-20 and its transfer workflow are Windows-only.
- Communication lists require a camera-created SYSTEM folder and USB Connection set to MSC for direct transfer.
- Instant-review transfer is unavailable in T/B modes and supported continuous/burst drive modes.
- The dedicated SR-20 server is optional and not required for Camera to Anywhere.
- This path documents FTP/FTPS, not SFTP.
FIELD VERIFICATION
Prove the path before the green flag.
Run this checklist on the exact body, firmware, network, and media format you will use on assignment.
- 01The .PRM file is saved and imported.
- 02The W/LESS LAN (FTP) destination appears under Send To.
- 03The camera joins the access point.
- 04One playback JPEG reaches the correct remote folder.
- 05Remote filename and byte size match.
- 06Auto Delete and Transmit Power Off are set deliberately.
TROUBLESHOOTINGIf it will not send,
If it will not send,
start here.
01Communication list will not transfer+
Set USB Connection to MSC and ensure the camera-formatted card contains the SYSTEM folder.
02Destination does not appear+
Import Com. Setting again and verify the .PRM list contains the saved FTP/FTPS destination.
03Cannot connect+
Use Support > PING and logs, then verify SSID, IP/gateway/DNS, host, port, PASV, and venue firewall.
04Authentication or path error+
Correct the ST-20 user ID/password or folder and transfer/import the revised list.
05Instant-review send is unavailable+
Leave T/B and continuous/burst shooting modes and confirm Quick Send Mode is enabled.

BEFORE FIELD USE
Documentation gets us to the menu. Hardware earns the badge.
This guide compiles all discovered FTP-related setup evidence for this model, but it is not a promise that every firmware version and venue network will behave identically. Verification records the exact body, firmware, access point, protocol, payload, and result.
