Webcam32 and Wingate

Wingate™ is an excellent proxy server available from www.wingate.net.  Wingate acts as a proxy and firewall between machines on a LAN and machines outside on the Internet.  For home users,  Wingate can be used to form a dialup connection to the Internet on one machine and have other machines LAN connected also gain access to the Internet.

If Webcam32 is executed on a machine which is LAN connected to the machine running Wingate, the Webcam32 FTP upload mechanism must be altered to pass through Wingate.

This is achieved very simply.  To configure Webcam32 for Wingate, you must first know the following information:

1. IP address or hostname of the machine running Wingate
2. FTP target server name or IP address
3. Userid on the target FTP server under which the Webcam32 image will be uploaded
4. Password for the target FTP server userid

In the Webcam32 settings, enter the following:

For FTP Server, enter the IP address or hostname of the machine running Wingate

For FTP Userid, enter

For FTP Password, enter the FTP password.

For example,

If Wingate is running on a machine called Dell which is LAN connected to a machine called Aptiva and Webcam32 is running on Aptiva then if the FTP server were ftp.myserver.com and the userid was myuserid, then

FTP Server would be entered as Dell

FTP Userid would be entered as myuserid@ftp.myserver.com

FTP Password would be entered as the myuserid password
