Those files with GIF extensions which are used for a homepage layout and can be read and overwritten.
They also can be downloaded by managed users. Other files will be explained below.

Uploading snapshots periodically to an external FTP server

In sequential mode, VisualServer will send out snapshots according to interval and period settings. If
snapshot files are intended for quick updates, it is better to skip date and time suffix. The file name will
then be video.jpg. If the snapshots are used for occasional monitoring, suffix with date and time can help
administrators classify them easily.
