CHAPTER 3
Configuring the Media
Server as an FTP Server
You might want to set up a Media Server as an FTP server. This allows
media files to be uploaded into designated workspaces from remote
systems. The FTP server uses Microsoft’s Internet Information Server
(IIS) for FTP to allow the file uploads.
Before you continue, make sure you have already:
• Installed your File Manager, storage, and at least one Media Server
• Appropriately configured the Media Server to mount at least one
Trilligent Cluster or MediaNet workspace
Configuring the Internet Information Server for FTP
n
Avid ships the Media Server with the IIS already installed, but disabled. If
you are installing a new Media Server, continue with “Configuring the FTP
Server Software” on page 3-2. If you are rebuilding the Media Server,
continue “Installing the FTP Server Software” on page 3-2.
