Supported actions
Upload, download, sync, create folders, rename, and delete files. You can also connect a compatible CCTV security camera to upload snapshots and video recordings. FileLu has been tested with Reolink and Foscam IP cameras. Other cameras that support FTP or FTPS in passive mode may also be compatible.
What is CCTV Loop Uploading?

Loop uploading allows your camera to continuously upload videos to your FileLu account. When the allocated storage is full, older files are automatically replaced with newer files, so manual deletion is not required.

What is a Camera FTP Server?

An FTP server for cameras allows your camera to upload videos and snapshots securely over the network. Even if the camera is removed, damaged, or stolen, your footage remains safely stored in your FileLu account.

FTP / FTPS Troubleshooting
  • Make sure your FileLu username and password are correct.
  • For standard FTP, use port 21.
  • For secure implicit FTPS, enable TLS and use port 990.
  • Configure your FTP client to use Passive (PASV) mode.
  • If the issue persists, contact support with a screenshot of your FTP client settings and the complete error message.
