Files In The Installation Directory For Windows - MACROMEDIA FLASH MEDIA SERVER 2-INSTALLING FLASH MEDIA SERVER 2 Manual

During development, you can keep client-side and server-side application files together, if you
want to. When you deploy applications on a public server, you'll need to separate client files
from your server-side source files. If you're using a web server, your SWF and HTML files
should be accessible through the web server. Your server-side ASC files, audio/video FLV files,
FSO files, and ActionScript FLA source files should not be accessible to a user browsing your
website.
When the server is installed, it's a good idea to become familiar with the files placed in the
Flash Media Server directory and, if applicable, your web root directory.

Files in the installation directory for Windows

If you chose the default directory in the installer, the Flash Media Server installation directory
is located at C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash Media Server 2\.
The Flash Media Server directory contains the following items:
The FMSMaster.exe file is the server application.
The FMSAdmin.exe file is the server's administration controller. When administrators
connect to the server with the management console, they are actually connected to the
service, which communicates with the server to perform administration tasks.
The tools directory contains BAT files that you can use to start and stop the server.
The Js32.dll file contains the server's Server-Side Media ActionScript engine.
The Tcsrvmsg.dll, xmlparse.dll, and xmltok.dll files are additional components of the
server.
The conf directory contains the server's hierarchy of XML configuration files and the
fms.ini file.
The applications directory is the directory in which you create registered application
directories for your media applications. For example, you could create a my_app
subdirectory in the applications directory and place your server-side application files for
the my_app application in that subdirectory.
At installation time, the location of the applications directory is written to the
tag in the Vhost.xml configuration file.
The fms2_console.swf file (located in the applications directory) can be used to open the
Flash Media Server management console.
The scriptlib directory contains the ASC files for web services. At installation time, the
location of the scriptlib directory is written to the
Application.xml file.
