Problem: I have an offsite location that has an AXIS 232D camera.
Insted of sending the motion .JPG images to an FTP server across the
WAN, I would like to send the images to a local FTP server. Then, at
night I will get the images off of the remote server over a 128Kb/s
line and back to our main office.

I am currently doing this with a workstation down there, but the users
bring down the FTP server at times which is not a good thing.

I am looking at the Linksys EFG120. The AXIS would FTP to the Linksys
when motion was detected. This is all on the remote lan. Then at
night, a server at our main office would ROBOCOPY move the images off
of the Linksys and onto the file server up here.

The Linksys EFG120 doesn't have good reviews, though. And since this
is offsite, support would be a difficult.

Is there a better way to handle this? I don't want to put a Linux
Intel box down there as I don't want all those moving parts that could
break.

Any suggestions?

Edwin

Doesnt have to have any more moving parts than the Linksys.
