FTP User Name

This is the FTP user name that the Portal Server Server uses when

 

publishing content to the server. This FTP User is vbrickuser by

 

default. If nothing is entered, the Portal Server will automatically use

 

vbrickuser. This refers to a user account that already exists on the

 

server. If the FTP User Name is changed on the NXG server, it must

 

be changed here as well.

 

 

Server Type

• NXG – Kasenna VoD server.

 

VOD-W – InfoValue VoD server.

 

• FTP – Use FTP only if you want to copy from the Recorder server

 

to another FTP server in which case it records to ftp:\root.

 

 

FTP Password

This is the FTP password that corresponds with the FTP user above.

 

The password is vbrickuser by default. If the FTP Password is

 

changed on the server, it must be changed here as well.

Note It may take up to 20 minutes for a new server to be displayed in ETV Portal Server. Once added, any new content on any server is displayed immediately.

Add/Modify On-Demand Content Folders

The Add/Modify On-Demand Content folders can be used to autoingest content into a particular NXG Video-on-Demand server. The Portal Server periodically polls certain folders for presence of content and if found ingests the content onto multiple NXG servers. Any files are FTP'd into a particular folder in the Autoingest folder will automatically be ingested into the corresponding folder on the NXG server(s). You have to add these folders using the window shown below. (See Auto Content Ingestion on page 65 for more about auto- ingestion.)
