server on the VOD-D server as explained below. (For more about Darwin servers see ETV
VOD Servers on page 6.)

To create a Darwin FTP server:
On the Darwin Server :
1. Install a standard FTP server on port 21.
2. Set the default FTP directory to the Darwin Server's Media Folder directory (also called
the Publishing Point) or create a virtual directory of the FTP root pointing to the Darwin
server's Media Folder.
3. Create and configure an FTP user account with full permissions (read/write, rename/
delete etc.) on the directory created above. If using the VBrick default, this account's user
name is
vbrickuser
and the password is
vbrickuser
. Hint: use the settings of the
anonymous
account as an example.
4. Verify that the directory created in Step 2 above is set to allow the FTP user account full
permissions.
On the Portal Server :
5. When the Darwin Server is created or modified, specify the user name and password
created in Step 3 above in the

Add/Modify Video On Demand Content Folders
Add/Modify Video On Demand Content Folders
can be used to organize content on a specific
Video-on-Demand server. The Portal Server periodically polls certain folders for presence of
content and if found ingests the content onto multiple VOD servers. Any files FTPed into a
particular folder in the Autoingest folder will automatically be ingested into the
corresponding folder on the VOD server(s). You must add these folders using the window
shown below. (See Auto Content Ingestion on page 121 for more about autoingestion.)
Existing folder structures on a VOD server will be mirrored in the Portal Server. However
you will still need to associate those folders with other server(s) if the file is to be
autoingested onto multiple servers.
