Publishing channels

Media Pocket supports direct sharing with different tools:

• Aspera: Fast file transfer tool 
• FTP: File Transfer Protocol 
• SCP: Secure copy protocol 
• Azure Blob: Cloud storage

To share an asset with any of the tools mentioned above you must first create and configure a publishing channel. All users and guests can create and use publishing channels. The environment can have several publishing channels per type, such as different Aspera destinations.

 

Create a publishing channel

Only Admin users can create, edit or delete publishing channels. Admins can find the Publishing channel tool from the More section in Quick Menu on the left hand side. All environment's publishing channels are listed in the opening window.

You can create a new channel by clicking "+ Create".

Each channel type requires a different configuration, simply follow the instructions by pressing the "?" icon

By default, the channels are public to all users. If needed, the channel can be set to be private and shared with one or more users.

Share to Publishing Channel

Once the publishing channel is set, you may share assets in it by clicking "share" on top of the asset...

or with the bulk edit tool

Next, choose the share destination and click share. You will be notified when sharing is done.

Note: Guest users are not allowed to share assets to publishing channels.
