Add A Network Share; Upload And Download Files Using An Sftp Client - Extron electronics SMP 300 Series User Manual

NOTES:
Recordings stored on the internal drive can be automatically uploaded to a
•
network server (configured in Configuration > Schedule Settings > Publish
Settings). If internal storage space is nearly full, the SMP uses a disc cleanup
feature to make room for new recordings. As needed, the unit automatically deletes
old recordings that have already been uploaded to a server, starting with the
oldest recordings, until there is enough free space on the disk. The unit removes
recordings that have not been published if additional free space is needed.
The recording time estimate for the internal drive considers space that can be
•
made available from recordings that are eligible for automatic deletion. At times,
the total listed space may not equal the total calculated space (used + available +
system).
• The total space listed for the internal drive may be larger than the sum of used
space plus available space because the total includes space reserved for system
files.
• The available space might be larger than the difference between the total and used
space because used space includes deletable recordings.
• For detailed information on disk space and storage, see the SMP 300 Series
Embedded Web Pages Help File.

Add a Network Share

Network servers or network-attached storage drives (network shares) can be added to
the file list so the SMP 300 Series can access files and folders stored on shared network
resources. These shares can store background images.
NOTE: The size of network shares is initially unknown and there can be significant
performance issues if the entire contents of every network share is indexed on every
filter or search request. To provide the best performance with available resources, the
searches and filtering for network shares is limited to the layer immediately below the
level that the user manually expands. If the user fully expands the share, then it is fully
indexed, searched, and filtered (see the SMP 300 Series Embedded Web Pages Help
File to add a network share).

Upload and Download Files Using an SFTP Client

NOTE: Recordings can be downloaded from the SFTP client but recordings cannot be
deleted from the client.
Automatic file uploading to a network location (see
on page 90), the recording re-transfer (re-upload) option within the Scheduled Events
page, and the upload option on the File Management page for uploading background
image files to the unit satisfy most file transfer needs. However, if there is a need to transfer
files into or out of the SMP outside of those controls, use an SFTP client utility.
To use an SFTP client utility to transfer files:
1. Click the File Management tab.
Copy the URL from the Accessing Internal Filesystem pane. The URL includes
2.
the SFTP protocol name (sftp), the address of the SMP, and the logical port number
(usually 22022) of the LAN port. For example, sftp://192.168.194.28:22022.
3. Open an SFTP client program of your choice.
4.
Paste the URL from the SMP 300 Series into the host name or host address field of the
SFTP client program. If necessary, delete sftp from the URL and select SFTP from a
different field or menu, and remove the port number from the URL and paste it into a
port number field.
