To Insert an Image File From an FTP Site

  1. On the ribbon, click Raster Tools tab Insert & Write panel Insert.
  2. In the Insert Image dialog box, click the FTP icon in the Places List.
  3. Click Tools menu Add/Modify FTP Locations.

    The Add/Modify FTP Locations dialog box appears.

  4. In the Name of FTP Site text box, type the name of the FTP server.
  5. In the Log On As section, choose either Anonymous or User.

    If you select the User option, enter a username in the combo box.

  6. Enter a password in the Password text box.
  7. Click Add.
  8. Click OK to return to the Insert Image dialog box.
  9. Navigate to the FTP site using standard Windows navigation methods.
  10. On the list of images, choose the image(s) that you want to insert. You can use standard Windows selection methods to select more than one image at a time. The selected image(s) are listed in the File Name box.
    Note: If more than one kind of file with the same name is present in the folder, do not type in a filename with no extension.
  11. In the Insert Options section, choose a correlation method:
    • Quick Insert automatically inserts the image using correlation values embedded in the image file, correlation data stored in a separate file, or using default correlation values.
    • Insertion Wizard divides the insertion process into a series of steps that can vary depending on image type: assigning a color map, specifying a correlation source, setting various positioning values, and transforming coordinate systems. This method is recommended for new or intermediate users.
    • Insertion Dialog provides the same functions as the Insertion Wizard, but without the step-by-step process. You can change settings on the tabs of the dialog box in any order, then apply them to the image. This method is recommended for advanced users.
  12. If you want to display only the frame of the image you insert, select the Show Frames Only check box.
  13. To zoom to the extents of the image(s) you insert after correlation, select the Zoom to Image(s) check box.
  14. To view information about an image before you insert it, select Views Information to view information such as file type and creation date.
  15. To display a preview of the image, click Views Preview. Click Open.
    Note: When you insert more than one image at a time, the default correlation information is used for the images. The images are inserted automatically into the drawing and the Insertion Wizard is not displayed.
