Adding FTP Servers
Figure 6. Add FTP Server
Creating a VOD-WM FTP Server
If you are using a VOD-WM-Enterprise or VOD-WM-Standard (Microsoft Windows Media)
server, you must install and configure a standard FTP server on the VOD-WM server as
explained below. (For more about Microsoft Windows Media servers see ETV Video-on-
Demand Servers on page 6.)
T To create a Microsoft Windows Media FTP server:
On the Microsoft Windows Media Server:
1. Install the FTP server.
2. Set the default FTP directory to the Microsoft Windows Media Server's default
Publishing Point directory.
3. Create and configure an FTP user account with full permissions (read/write, rename/
delete etc.) on the directory specified above. If using the VBrick default, this account's
user name is
vbrickuser and the password is vbrickuser. Hint: use the settings of the
anonymous account as an example.
Note • The publishing point name within a server must be unique. You cannot add a
publishing point that already exists in MCS database.
• The publishing point FTP directory within a server must be unique.
• If free space information is available at the time a publishing point is added, it must
be greater than the entered Low Space Threshold.
• Publishing points located within another publishing point are not supported
although publishing points on the same drive are supported. For example, two
publishing points with
Source c:\pub1 and c:\pub2 are supported but two
publishing points with
Source c:\pub1 and c:\pub1\pub2 are not supported.
