About FTP Server

Final Cut Server supports access to any server running standard File Transfer Protocol
(FTP) such as a Microsoft Windows, Macintosh, or UNIX host. Other devices can be set up
in this way; for example, Macintosh file server, Windows NT or Windows 2000 file server,
and UNIX file server.

To access the FTP Server device settings

1

Click the Create button in the Administration window’s Devices pane to create a new
device.

2

Choose FTP Server from the Device Type pop-up menu.

Choose FTP Server.

The Configuration pane for an FTP Server device type contains the following items:

Device Name: Enter a descriptive name for the device.

Hostname / IP Address: This is either a DNS host name (for example, ftp.bigtv.com) or

the IP address of the server (for example, 10.1.101.7).

FTP Root Path: Enter the default path for files on the server (for example,

/public/images/). If this path starts with a forward slash (/), it is relative to the root folder
of the server. If this path does not start with a forward slash, it is relative to the default
folder of the server the user uses to log in (usually the user’s home folder).

User: Enter your user name in this field to log in automatically to the server on every

attempted FTP server access, such as searching and copying.

Password: Enter the password that goes with the above User entry. Leave this field

blank if the FTP server does not require a password.

Verify: Retype the password entered above.
