Camera setup guide
Alpha a7, a9, a1 & FX — FTP Transfer Func.
Before you start
Sony's mirrorless bodies have a built-in FTP Transfer Function that can push every shot straight to Rawback. Register Rawback once as an FTP server, turn on auto transfer, and you're done.
Faster setup
You can also save these settings from Sony's Transfer & Tagging desktop app to a memory card and import them into the camera — handy when setting up several bodies.
Go to MENU → Network → Wi-Fi (or Wired LAN) and join a network with internet access. The camera needs to reach the internet, not your computer.
Go to MENU → Network → Transfer/Remote → FTP Transfer Func. Set FTP Function to On and set the connect method to match your connection.
Open Server Setting → Server 1 and enter the host, turn Secure Protocol on, and set the port. Leave the directory as the default root.
In the same Server 1 screen, set User to your Rawback username and Password to the credential password from the FTP page.
Back in FTP Transfer Func., pick Server 1 under Server Select, then set Auto FTP Transfer to On. New photos now upload as you shoot.
Use the secure option
Keep Secure Protocol on. With it off, your username and password travel unencrypted over the network.
