Chapter 6

Sun MediaCenter Server FTP Daemon

6-5

The attribute values of the title named

Bambi

indicate a normal-play, forward-

direction, MPEG file that was encoded 3 Mb/sec. in MPEG-2 Program Stream
format.

All video-file commands require a value for the

title

attribute. (The value can be,

with some commands, a wildcard.) Certain commands have requirements beyond
this. These requirements are spelled out in the following section.

In some instances, such as when using video-file commands for backup,
specification of all attributes is not required but is recommended. If you restore files
that had not had their attributes recorded, you end up with files with default values
for their attributes, which might not be appropriate for those files.

Video-File Commands

The

ftp

client commands you can use to access the FTP video-file functions on a

Sun MediaCenter server are as follows:

delete

dir

get

ls

mget

mls

mput

put

rename

The following subsections contain descriptions of each of these commands. The
commands are categorized by function.

Note –

The names used for

ftp

client commands are those used by the Solaris

ftp

client implementation. These command names might vary by implementation. For
example, the

put ftp

command, described below, maps to the FTP protocol’s

STOR

function. A given implementation might have a

copy

command that maps to the

same function. For that implementation, the description of

put

, below, would apply

to

copy

.
