(You can also and additional use the "Work Once Exact At" and "Work Within A Time Range At Certain Minutes" and "Work At Scheduler Start/End" selections to adjust the needed points of time)

16. Press the "FTP Settings" button to open the "FTP Upload" dialog

17. Select the option "Upload The Files Under A Different Name". So the picture is uploaded under a different name and renamed to its original name after the upload is completed. This is necessary to prevent the displaying of an incomplete picture if the uploaded picture is displayed on your webpage.

18. Select the option "Upload Additional Files"!
19. Press the "Insert Files" button and select the filename "c:\temp\picture.jpg" or which you have choosen before under the picture capture settings from the first job!

24. Insert the same interval which you have selected for the picture capturing in the "Work Interval, Every x Second(s)" editfield.

25. There are now two jobs (functions) in the joblist included. First the picture capturing and second the FTP upload. Both of them have the same time range and the same interval. The picture capturing is listed above the FTP upload, so it is executed first. This is important, because the picture must be already captured when the FTP wants to upload the picture.

26. Close the "Adjust Camera" dialog.

27. Start the scheduler from the toolbar or the button from the camera preview window or from a menu.

28. In the scheduler listview from the main dialog you can see all scheduler jobs and the number of executions of the individual functions.
