Files and Storage
Files and Storage
Use File Manager for small Engine-managed assets and the remote browser for existing server paths.
Actions
| Action | What to Do |
|---|---|
| Manage Files | Open File → Manage Files, select the server and path, then perform the action. |
File Manager
Upload an image or video, check its name and size, then assign it to an Engine object. Before deleting it, check for references and keep a backup.
Remote Browser
Open the folder button in a media form, select the server, browse to a readable path, and select the file. The browser filters extensions for the current form and remembers the last directory per server.
Selecting a path does not copy it into File Manager and does not prove another server can read it.
| Requirement | Use |
|---|---|
| Small Engine-managed asset | File Manager upload |
| Existing media on one server | Remote browser |
| Shared path | Mount and verify the path on every server |
| Cross-server VOD transfer | VOD transfer action |
| Backup or archive | External protected storage |
The Engine service needs directory traversal and read/write permission on the server that uses the path. Prefer a new filename when replacing cached media.
