WS.WebTV Stortage Configuration
support, ws.webtv, home, configuration, stortage
In this section you can select the upload destination for image and document files: Local (the current WebTV server), External Server (FTP) or AWS.
The possibility to use external storage has been designed to allow the use of a CDN in order to achive a better scalability on the server that hosts the WebTV.
NOTES:
- Although external storage is used, the WebTV will keep a local copy of all files, into the corresponding local folders ( uploads/images/, uploads/images/galleries, uploads/docs/ )
- In Statistics page, the folder size calculations (images, gallery images and docs) will be done using local folders.
When FTP is selected, the WebTV will upload the files to an external server, though FTP.
• File server FTP: Enter the FTP address where the files will be stored. Examples:
ftp://ftp.myfileserver.com/httpdocs/
ftp://ftp.myfileserver.com/
• FTP Username/Password: Login info of the FTP server.
• FTP Active Mode: Some servers require the "active" FTP mode for file transferring (most don't). If you have problems uploading files, select "Yes".
• File Base URL: Specify the HTTP base address where to access the files. Example:
http://www.myserver.com/
• Images, Gallery Images, Documents and Assorted Images folders: Specify the folder names where the images, gallery images and documents will be stored (these folders must exist in the FTP). You SHOULD NOT use the same name for the three folders. The folder names will add to the Base URL.
When AWS is selected, the WebTV will upload the files to an Amazon S3 account.
• AWS Access Key/Secret Key: The credentials to access the S3 account.
• AWS Bucket: Enter the name of the bucket where the files will be stored.
• AWS End Point: This is the End Point you selected when created the bucket.
• File Base URL: Specify the HTTP base address where to access the files. Example:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/bucket-name/
• Images, Gallery Images, Documents and Assorted Images folders: Specify the folder names where the images, gallery images and documents will be stored (these folders must exist inside the bucket). You SHOULD NOT use the same name for the three folders. The folder names will add to the Base URL.
