I understand my IXUS 240HS is presenting itself over USB as a PICTBRIDGE device and some file system operations are unavailable in the PC files window. Is it possible to configure it to behave as a mass storage device?
I would like to access the IXUS 240 HS via WiFi but want to explore options that do not involve running Canon-specific utilities on the PC. Has anyone tried such operations or used the 240 with an FTP server on their local network?
