Ricoh
G900SE II

The G900SE II uses built-in Wi-Fi plus an ST-20 communication list to initiate FTP or FTPS uploads to a configurable server. It imports the .PRM profile, selects a W/LESS LAN (FTP) target, and provides playback, instant-review, automatic, and power-off transfer controls.

Accessory-assisted camera client

TRANSPORT

built-in 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi through an access point or hotspot

The documented network paths available to the camera or its required transmitter.

PAYLOAD

captured still images · recorded movie files

File behavior is quoted conservatively until a Camera to Anywhere fixture reproduces it.

TRIGGER

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.

STATUS

Documented.
Not lab-verified.

Use current camera firmware and the current ST-20 software when regenerating communication lists. FTP/FTPS controls are G900SE II-only within the shared G900 II manual. Physical Camera to Anywhere interoperability is not yet lab-verified.

Gather these items first, then enter the Camera to Anywhere job credential exactly as issued. The camera sends to the public ingest edge; your private destinations stay downstream.

PREREQUISITES
  1. 01

    Current G900SE II firmware and current ST-20 from DC Software II.

  2. 02

    A Windows computer for ST-20.

  3. 03

    A camera-formatted card or USB MSC connection for the communication list.

  4. 04

    A reachable Wi-Fi access point or hotspot.

  5. 05

    Camera to Anywhere endpoint host/IP, port, credentials, folder, encryption mode, and PEM/DER certificate when required.

CONNECTION FIELDS

Destination server

Camera to Anywhere hostname or IP.

Identifies the receiver.

User ID and password

Per-source credentials.

Authenticates and routes the source.

Folder

Assigned remote path.

Places files in the correct input.

Overwrite duplicate names

Leave unchecked during validation.

Prevents an existing remote file from being replaced.

PASV

Check for standard NAT/firewall operation.

Uses passive FTP data connections.

Port

Exact assigned listener port.

Must match the endpoint.

Encryption

FTP, Explicit FTPS, or Implicit FTPS.

Must match the listener's TLS mode.

Certificate file

PEM or DER trust file if required.

Lets the camera validate the FTPS server.

ESS-ID / Network Key

Venue SSID and credential.

Joins the camera to the access point.

WHAT ACTUALLY MOVES

Transfer behavior,
without the guesswork.

TRANSFER MODES
  • Playback File Send for one/all/selected/range
  • 1Touch instant-review send
  • 2Touch instant-review send
  • Automatic send after capture
  • Transmit Power Off batch
  • Per-transfer destination selection
MEDIA BEHAVIOR
  • File Send supports captured images and recorded movie files.
  • Quick-send Auto ignores Image File Size and sends the original.
  • Auto Delete can remove sent files and should remain off for initial testing.
  • Send Status controls whether the destination list appears each time.
  • Support includes retry count, AP timeout, ping, logs, and retained WLAN connection.
LIMITS + WARNINGS
  • ST-20 is Windows-only.
  • The communication list must be transferred through MSC or imported from a camera-formatted card SYSTEM folder.
  • Instant-review sending is unavailable in T/B and supported continuous/burst modes.
  • FTP/FTPS is documented; SFTP is not.
  • Regenerate and re-import the list after changing endpoint or Wi-Fi credentials.
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.

  1. 01The .PRM list is imported.
  2. 02W/LESS LAN (FTP) appears and is selected.
  3. 03The camera joins the intended access point.
  4. 04One playback JPEG reaches the assigned folder.
  5. 05Remote filename and byte size match.
  6. 06Retention, auto-send, and power-off-send behavior are approved.
TROUBLESHOOTING

If it will not send,
start here.

01Communication list transfer fails

Set USB Connection to MSC and confirm a camera-created SYSTEM folder exists.

02No W/LESS LAN (FTP) destination

Re-import the .PRM list and inspect its saved destination in ST-20.

03Wi-Fi connects but FTP fails

Verify hostname/IP, port, PASV, credentials, remote path, gateway/DNS, and outbound firewall rules.

04FTPS cannot connect

Confirm Explicit versus Implicit mode and include the correct PEM/DER certificate.

05Quick send is disabled

Use a supported shooting mode and confirm Quick Send Mode and Send To are configured.

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.
