FTP Updating
FTP, File Transfer Protocol , is a standardized convention used to
deliver digital data via, TCP/IP., a set of network protocols
commonly used by networking systems and the internet.
Using FTP, each Mantis updates itself automatically when
connected to a static network connection. New media, playlists,
schedules and/or system updates are downloaded using this
connection to a FTP site. Static network connections may be DSL,
cable modem, or a connection to a Local Area Network (LAN).
Often LAN connections have access to the Internet. However,
check with a networking specialist for information on setting up an
account, if Internet access is required to reach the FTP server.
Often, Internet access from a LAN requires the use of a proxy
server and fire wall permissions.
FTP Server
FTP servers are programs that reside on a PC and may be
Windows, Unix, or Linux-based. A FTP server monitors users that
log in to it and regulate what folders and videos a user may access.
When a Mantis performs an update, the FTP server sees it as a
user.
For a Mantis to perform an update, it must be configured with the
network address of the FTP server and login information
,username and password, for an account on the FTP server. The
account should have read and write permissions on the FTP server.
FTP Software
Although there are many types of FTP software packages
available, Visual Circuits recommends Serve-U. You can
download a trial version at www.Serve-U.com
Mantis Site ID
Setup each Mantis with its own site ID before installation. This
permits future update files created for that specific Mantis to have
filenames using its unique site ID.
