hi all,

is there a way to copy jpegs saved to an SD card in a DCS-2332L netcam without physically removing the SD card from the netcam?

i have it configured to take time-lapse pictures and record them to a PC (via SMB over wifi) and to an SD card (as a backup in case the wifi/PC goes down). this has been a wise decision as the d-link wifi router i bought to run it needs to be rebooted every few weeks!! the camera is in a very difficult to access location so having to physically remove the SD card everytime the d-link AP crashes is frustrating!!

thanks for your help!

I don't have an SD card inserted in any of my cameras currently to refresh my memory, but --

You can access the files on the card from the web interface.  Worst case, you can download them one at a time that way.  I can't remember whether the web interface lets you grab a whole folder at once.

i haven't figured out a way to download folders but hopefully i am just slow??

one at a time will be panful.... 1 photo every minute = 6 days * 24 hrs * 60 minutes = 8,640 files...!

Access through SSH

Run the command:

Code: [Select]

find /mnt/mmc/ -name "*.jpg" | while read filename; do /usr/bin/ftpput -v -u YOUR_FTP_USER -p YOUR_FTP_PASS IP_OR_DOMAIN:21 /FTP_FOLDER/${filename##*/} $filename; done;

This will find every jpg in your SD card and send one by one to your FTP folder.

thanks for the code. will that recreate the folder structure as well?

No. But I think it's possible to do what you want..
