Creating FTP Sites
Whether the File Gateway is running on a separate server or on the System director, you

additional FTP sites for the workspaces you want to share. The way you get to the FTP Site
Creation Wizard varies depending on the operating system.

a. In the Alias field, enter the Alias name of the workspace; for example,
my_workspace.
b. In the Physical path field, enter the network path to the workspace; for example,
\\virtual_sysdir_name\my_workspace.
For consistency and simplicity, Avid recommends that the workspace name match
the alias name.
