Sun Microsystems 2.1 manual Loading Content with ftp, Deleting Files

6.3.4Deleting Files

delete

The delete (or del) command allows you to delete a video file from a Sun MediaCenter server. You specify only a title name for this command.

An example of its use:

ftp> del smc:title=Batman 250 DELE command successful.

200 PORT command successful.

ftp>

6.4Loading Content with ftp

Use of ftp with the Sun MediaCenter FTP daemon is the preferred method to load content onto the server. You use the ftp put command to load content from an encoding machine or other machine on which content is stored to a Sun MediaCenter server. (See FIGURE 6-2on page 6-10.) If a title contains trick play streams, you use a separate put command for the normal-play file and for each trick play file.

In loading content, you must specify the title, speed, rate, and format attributes for each MPEG file. The supported formats are MPEG1SYS and MPEGTS.
