3.5. Uploading Packed Files
This option is necessary if you selected “Pack local file” when using the Packer. (If you selected “Pack remote file” the file was packed directly to the Network Encoder.) You should also use one of these access methods to manage your files at the server. Consult with your Encoding Service Manager on disk space and other usage policies.
You must be able to access your user directory at the server, so that you can place or remove your packed and other files onto or from the Network Encoder server.
αχ Note to System Administrator: You can grant privileges to your users directly by setting up shares on the Xserve so that the user can see them in a program such as Windows Network Neighborhood. This will involve setting up user accounts and proper privileges.
Another method is to use the FTP server built into the Network Encoder. Each user can access their own user directory by providing their user name and password.
Manager and User Guide – DTS Pro Series Network Encoder for MAC OSX
αχ Note: This method works only with Internet Explorer under Windows.
The
ftp://<name>:<password>@<Network Encoder IP address>:2121/<name>
For example, if the Network Encoder has an IP address of 10.0.0.1, the user’s name is “User1” and their password is “password”, then this is their FTP location:
ftp://User1:password@10.0.0.1:2121/User1
If you are concerned about privacy (for example, you are at a location where people can view your password over your shoulder), simply omit the password from the URL and wait for the browser to prompt you for it. When you type it, it will be obscured by asterisks. Going back to our example, the more private URL
would look like: ftp://User1@10.0.0.1:2121/User1
This address can be typed into the MS Internet Explorer web browser to display the contents of a user’s directory. The .agm files can then be dropped into this directory. Encoded files and logs can also be copied out of the directory by dragging them to the desktop. The browser also allows files under the directory to be erased.
3.6. Using the Encoder after Packing Locally
The Encoder is always used separately from the Packer. The input file to the Encoder must already have been packed and uploaded to the server where the Network Encoder software can locate it. See Uploading Packed Files, page 25.
1.In the Packer, you may choose Pack local file when you do not wish to encode the file immediately (see topic 2.9 on page 9).
Click “Pack local file” to generate the output file. (If the output file already exists, the Packer will prompt you to overwrite it.)
This prompt will display when the packing is finished.
In the selected output directory, you will see an additional file – the .agm packed file.
