File Sharing
The storage receiver stores all files addressed to your station on an internal hard drive. The storage receiver
runs the Linux Operating System (OS), and employs a network service called Samba to make this directory
accessible as a folder on the Windows-based automation system (and other Windows hosts on the LAN).
Many automation systems use particular file naming conventions to identify program files. To accommodate
the most popular automation systems, each file is placed in ContentDepot storage receivers with filename links
into two separate directories (a link is similar to a shortcut in Windows or an alias on a Macintosh). One
directory has long filenames (19-character name + .wav) that include the program name, episode number and
segment number; another directory has filenames that are based on the CutID number (five digits+ .wav).
Check with your automation vendor to find out which directory your automation system will need to examine
to extract files.
The following table provides the information for setting up file sharing with the automation workstation.
