• Passive Mode: Select this checkbox to use passive mode FTP transfers.
• Port: Leave blank to use the default port number, or enter a different port number.
• Show Dot-files: Select this checkbox to display all files beginning with a dot or period
(.) on directory listings and searches. Otherwise these files are not visible.
Important:
Do not select this option unless specifically required.
• ls -a: Select this checkbox to include files whose names start with a period when listing
the server’s files.
Important:
Do not select this option unless specifically required.
• Search Cache Time: The time in minutes for which search results are cached in
Final Cut Server. The range is from 0 (not cached) to 7 (results cached for 7 minutes).
The Final Cut Server cache is searched until the specified period has elapsed, after which
the device is polled again. This improves performance for the user but means results
may be out of date by the specified period. Caching the search results for several
minutes is useful when connecting to a slow server or slow network link.
• Text encoding: Choose the type of text encoding used on the device from this pop-up
menu. Final Cut Server supports a wide range of text encodings, including many of the
common Chinese, Korean, and Japanese encodings. The default is UTF-8 Unicode,
which is used with current versions of Mac OS X.
If you are unsure about which text encoding to use, you can choose a setting and use
the Search Devices window (explained in
) to see if the filenames
appear as expected. If not, you can choose a different setting and test again.
Important:
After a device’s assets have been added to the Final Cut Server catalog,
changing this setting will not affect them. Be sure to perform the above tests prior to
scanning the device.
