Configure System via FTP
Administrators can use FTP to configure Video Server much quicker than Web page especially for multiple targets. To configure system via FTP, first download the parameter file, CONFIG.INI, to customize each field according to the environment and then upload back to validate the new settings. To log into the FTP daemon, enter “root” as the user name and the same password used when connecting to the Web server.
The file is composed of categories. The category name in brackets should be in lower case. The item name in angle braces should be in lower case. The number zero entry in <user name> and <user password> is for administrators, i.e. “root”.
A sample CONFIG.INI is attached below. The italic text following each line describes the characteristic of the field and the bold italic characters are the options of the field.
The following table is an example, all parameters is listed in General format of command URL.
