Add File Server
Any Windows computer with an FTP server running can be configured as a progressive
download file server (for Windows Media files only). Progressive download is a method of
delivering audio and video that involves caching and playing the downloaded portion of a file
while a download is still in progress via FTP. Recorded WM files are automatically ingested to
all VOD and file servers if the user has access rights and publishing permissions. A
progressive download file server can provide secure (encrypted) playback if configured for
SSL. (Note: You can also use a WM encoder with a hard drive for progressive download. See
VBrick Configuration on page 44.) Note that the Free Space option (see below) is only
available if you run the EnableQueryDiskSpace.reg utility.
