FTP List Format for Forward and Store

FTP and Security – Take security precautions: FTP was not designed to be a secure protocol, and has many security weaknesses.

Broadsign Ayuda expects file transfer protocol to render date information in the formats used by FileZilla and IIS. This takes the form:

drwxr-xr-t    6 22540114     22540114     4096 Aug 9 08:28

If another format is used, the regex used by Broadsign Ayuda will not be able to parse the information. If this occurs, the files necessary for forward and store will not be downloaded by the player.

Note: There is no universal standard for listing file information in FTP, but theoretically Broadsign Ayuda supports any FTP product using the IIS file list format. For products listing contents in any other manner custom regex support will have to be mapped.
