Scan to network folder using FTP cannot enter password for user

That worked great.  Thank you.  I knew there had to be a way.

You need to enable the HTTPs option to be able to enter a password in the address book.

It is intentionally done so that the transfer is not done with no security (plaintext)

You may need to create a self signed certificate first

Once that is done, or if it already was, go ahead and enable the HTTPs

I have setup a user to scan to a network folder in the address book and I have pasted it below.  I have it working but the only way I could enter the "password" for the user Scanner was actually on the machine itself and I could not find a way to do it using the web interface.  Is this the only way I can enter the password for the FTP server on the Xerox WorkCentre 5325? 

This is a new device for us and the company that provided it said this is the way we had to scan to a network folder.  Create an address book entry with the FTP ip address along with the path and user name for authentication (see picture below) and then to actually input the password for that address book entry we had to enter it on the device itself and could not use the web interface.  We had to do this for each folder we wanted to scan too.  We have it working but I wanted to know if there was a better way.

Here are the software versions installed on the Xerox.
