    I have 2 webcams in 2 seperate locations and I want to use a ftp prog to send the recorded images (using motion detection) to a third pc set up as a server.

    How easy would this be to set up bearing in mind that I have never set up a server or FTP.

    Thanks

    Running Linux? You can use motion to record from your webcam when it detects motion and wput to push saved images to an ftp server. Some googling turned up this http://www.codejacked.com/turn-your-webcam-into-a-security-camera-in-linux/

    No I'm running xp. Have set up cameras to record ok and plan to use fling file transfer to send files but what has my head wrecked id the setting up of a server on 3rd machine. Port forwarding and router firewall is just doing my head in.

    FileZilla Server is user best option for running a FTP Server from a Windows host.

    On the portforwarding issues what Router/Firewall do you have on each site?

    I am testing on a netgear dg834n and have it all working on my home network but when i try it online so to speak I cannot log in.
    I will be running live (i hope) with an Eircom Dlink router and 2 meteor mobile usb thingys.
