Using the TZO webserver to share your digital
camera pictures with others on the Internet, using
Windows XP Scanner and Camera Wizard |

Not
everyone has their own web server running 24/7, but
there are times when you want to share your digital
camera pictures with friends and family. This
tutorial shows you how to share your digital camera
pictures using the TZO web server. By following this
tutorial, you will be able to connect your Digital
Camera to your Windows powered PC, and on your
server. Please note that if you have a router or
firewall, you need to open the proper ports on your
router so others can access your server. To see how
to open ports in your server, please see our router pages for
tutorials |

BEFORE STARTING: Install your digital camera
software and drivers:
The first step is to read your camera documentation
and install the camera software. You should only need
to do this once, before you connect the camera to the
computer. Read your instructions that came with the
camera, some may not need anything installed to read
the pictures from your camera. |

|
| |
STEP 1) Connect your digital camera to your
computer: Most Digital Camera's are USB
capable. You should now connect your USB cable that
came with the camera to your camera, and then plug
the USB end into the computer.
If you are using Windows XP, you will typically see
the screenshot below. If you do NOT have XP, see the tutorial
