SFTP Recording for Dahua IPC-HDW5442TM-AS-LED, How?

[alecz]

I have a few Dahua Cameras and I managed to get them to record to SFTP, but I cannot manage to get the IPC-HDW5442TM-AS-LED to do that.

1. The events are triggering properly. Video detection enabled, record check. SMD enabled, Smart Plan IVS which works properly in Live View.
2. The Storage > Path has all FTP boxes checked
3. The Storage > FTP has SFTP Enabled, settings saved, Test successful. The camera's folder is created, but no date folder and recordings are saved

A vaguely remember there was a certain order of clicking things in the UI to get recording to SFTP working, and I searched the forum, but I cannot find that detail anywhere (maybe it should be sticky?).

So anyone else remember how to get SFTP recording on a 5442?

Figured it out.... when I specified the folder, it created another folder in it, so my recordings were a level lower than expected. The old camera folder that was empty was probably from a previous attempt where I forgot to click "Enable" or something.
