Turn on Relayed Transfer
Relayed Transfer is enabled by default if you are uploading photos to an Online Sharing site. If you are only
uploading media to a computer destination, the Relayed Transfer option will give you the ability to automatically
transfer the media even when your computer is off. Your media will be automatically transferred via a configured
wireless network on the card to the Eye-Fi servers. When your computer is turned back on and the Eye-Fi Software is
running, it will contact the Eye-Fi Servers to download the staged media.
