#Filezilla mac 10.6.8 update

This means that the target share on a Windows system cannot be the root of the drive, because there are hidden system folders which the camera can't delete and so the format will fail.

NOTE 2: As per rpc's suggestion, you can also use virtual drives such as a VHD or VHDX volume in Windows, which allows for additional flexibility and removes the requirement to dedicate an entire physical volume or partition for recording.Ģ) To successfully 'format' a target storage 'HDD', the camera must be able to delete ALL files and folders underneath the shared folder to make it COMPLETELY EMPTY. NOTE: In this case, 'drive' refers to a 'logical' drive, not necessarily an entire 'physical' drive, ie you can use a partition which is part of a larger drive if you like. If any changes are made to the amount of free space on the recordings drive, other than by the camera, the storage status will revert to 'uninitialized'. Kyphos has written up a great guide for OSX users which builds on this information.ġ) You must use a drive which is dedicated to the camera recordings.

This information may be relevant to Hikvision models other than mine, but I can't confirm / test this.

I am by no means an expert at this and I've only ever setup one camera, so please feel free to contribute with either additional tips, or corrections if you think I have my facts wrong! All constructive input gladly accepted! If any new / corrected information comes to light I will update this post to make it as accurate as possible. I have just wasted a few hours of my life wrestling with SMB/CIFS formatting issues with my Hikvision DS-2CD2332-I v5.2.5 build 141201 and since the information required to fix it was scattered across the entire Internet I thought I'd create a post to consolidate it all to hopefully save others the same pain in future.
