Figure 8. Content Location for HTTP Playback
Using FTP Playback
If you select FTP for
Playback Protocol
, Figure 9 shows sample content location. In the
example there are three folders:
c:\Pub1
,
c:\Pub2
and
d:\Pub3
. The FTP server has three
publishing directories that map to those three folders. (Note that only one publishing point is
actually required.) The Portal Server constructs an FTP URL for each file and the Portal
Server client downloads the file from the FTP server inside the file server. Multiple content
locations can on the same hard drive. For example,
c:\pub1
and
c:\pub2
are on drive C. This
is necessary to preserve the current file structure on the file server but you cannot create a
content location inside another content location. Secure FTP playback is not supported.
Note that Portal Server users cannot create thumbnails when
Playback Protocol
is set to FTP.
