Instructive and clear, this video helped me a lot for some research for a client. Thanks Brian.

Thanks for the great video. I have a question, is there a way to figure out which images you have sent, so that when downloading the card, these images have a mark or something? and then you can keep the RAWs, and ditch the rest. I know you can rate them, but I am looking for a different way, as to rate I need both hands, and two actions. Thanks again

Put camera on 10 fps second and lets see how long it takes for photos to transfere.

The best explanation I have seen, thank you.
Can I do the same ftp transfer from my Sony A9ii to an IPAD rather than my macbook pro. If so could you recommend an ftp to install on the Ipad.
