Adding Network Share Endpoints
Adding an FTP Endpoint
Adding an FTP Endpoint
FTP endpoints can be configured as generic FTP endpoints, a Grass Valley K2 or a PitchBlue
endpoint. They work in the same as any standard FTP client, such as FileZilla. Therefore, the
FTP endpoint's configuration options reflect standard FTP requirements and settings.
FTP endpoints only operate in Search Media Mode.
To add an FTP endpoint:
1 Open an existing configuration profile or create a new one, then add a new endpoint
tab, as described in step 1 and step 2 of Basic Steps for Adding an Endpoint , on
page 15.
2 Click the Select button next to the Endpoint Driver field. The Select Delivery Manager
Driver dialog appears.
3 Select FTPDriver and click OK.
4 In the Endpoint Name field, enter the name to be used as a reference in the iTX
database. For example, “ FTP K2 ”.
5 Click the browse button for the Cache Content Workflow field. The Select ‘Cache
Media’ Workflow... dialog appears.
File Extensions
List of file extensions to be processed. If you want all file types to be
processed, leave this field blank.
Default Extension If restoring files that have no file extension from an external archive,
the extension entered here will be added to each file name when
they are transferred into iTX.
Exclude Folders
Using add/remove buttons you can add details of sub folders you wish
to exclude.
This is a search string, so the folders need to be typed in the dialog like
this:
*\folder name\*
When using CIFS endpoints with Omneon essence based media, add
media.dir to the list of excluded folders to prevent Delivery Manager
viewing components from essence based media files as individual
assets.
Keep Media Location
This option instructs the database to keep the original location of the
media as part of the asset record (if the file is being copied rather than
transferred).
Remove File
Extension on Archive
Some archives and media stores do not support DOS file extensions,
because they only support one file type, meaning the extension is
not required.
This endpoint option removes the file extension from the file name
when it is moved to an archive.
Maximum Transfer
Bitrate
This slider sets the throttle rate on network file transfer speeds for
each file. The default is 100mbs.
