Configuring the FTP Server

The following covers the configuration process for the FTP server. This process applies whether you are running FTP server software on a PC on a network or have a dedicated FTP server.

1.The first step is to create the path and permissions to the directory which the Hi-Def Digital Signage Media Player will be accessing. In our example from the settings.xml file, we specified the following:

<pullConfig>

<pullMode value=”enable” /> <disable />

<enable>

<pullURL value=”192.168.2.70” /> <settingPull value=”192.168.2.70” /> <schedulePull value=”192.168.2.70/schedules” /> <playlistPull value=”192.168.2.70/playlists” /> <contentPull value=”192.168.2.70/media” /> <pullLogUpload value=”192.168.2.70” />

In the example above, the IP address of the FTP server is 192.168.2.70

2.Create a local directory structure on the FTP server. The directory structure must be identical to the directory structure on the USB drive.

The settings.xml file must exist in the root directory, as shown below:

Filename Filesize Filetype

..

Logs media playlists schedules

File folder File folder File folder File folder

settings.xml 2,472 XML Doc...

3. Configure the FTP server to point to the above directory structure. Only the parent directory should be specified.

For example, if you create a parent directory called /foo, the /media /playlists, and /schedules directory should reside under the /foo directory.
