Having trouble getting FTP to work on Hikvision

Unfortunately I have to stay with Hikvision on this one since the other LPR cameras dont have FTP upload and require you to have to login via web browser to view plate captures. So sadly these aren't going up for sale anytime soon.
Simple application ran as service using cameras API would solve that.
 
Looks like running a FTP server on windows works well, and then I can have the files save to the NAS. Just a little clunky but hey atleast I am back in business. Looks like the only other problem I have with these cameras is they eventually get blurry because the focus type is set to manual. I wish there was a way to have the cameras adjust the focus once per day or something, or after boot. That way I can have the POE injector on a PDU and have it cycle once a day.
