Sending scans to FTP on OS X Server

Since the changes to SMB in recent versions of OS X Server, many printers that use the "scan to folder" destination, have ceased to function.  So FTP was a good alternative.  This just serves as a quick reference to make that happen properly.  If you go to the web administration page or on screen display of a Ricoh, Savin, or similar multifunction, it will ask for an FTP Server Name and Path.  For the server name, enter the IP address or FQDN of the server - do not put any slashes in the name.  For the path, leave it completely blank if you want it to go to the root of the FTP folder.  It is tempting to put the name of the FTP share point but this will not work.  If you wish to scan to a subfolder on the FTP share, enter the path like this /subfolder.  Again, do not enter the name of the FTP root folder.  Only place a slash and the name of the sub folder.
