Quick start for SlowscanTV stations

Install Slowscan FTP on the Windows computer running your SSTV software. Select the folder where MMSSTV saves received images, enter the station FTP account and choose the remote band folder, for example 20m, 10GHz or ISS.

Use Test connection, save the settings and press Start. Existing images that have not yet been uploaded are queued oldest first. New or changed JPG images are then uploaded automatically while the server archive is maintained as a rolling set of 30 images. Version 2.0 can keep, archive or delete the local source only after the upload has been confirmed. The current image preview shows which SSTV picture is being processed, while the Activity log keeps the important upload and archive messages easy to follow.

Three bands, one FTP account

Slowscan Multi FTP is designed for stations receiving SSTV on more than one band. Enter the FTP server, username and password only once, then enable up to three independent channels. Each channel has its own band and local SSTV folder.

For example, one station can monitor 20m, 40m and 80m at the same time. Every band keeps its own rolling 30-image server archive. When Archive is selected, local files are also stored automatically in separate band folders.

Use the normal Slowscan FTP 2.0 when you only need one band. Choose Slowscan Multi FTP 1.0 when you want to run up to three bands from the same station account.

Software is only one part of an SSTV station

You will also need a receiver or transceiver, a suitable antenna and an audio connection between the radio and computer. Start with receive-only operation when you are new to SSTV.
