Uploading a video or file to LHF website

Overview: Need to upload a file(s) to our website (LHF) so that a customer can download it or view it.

Creating The Film File:

Render the file as small as one can for the customer to view it.  The last time I created an mp4 file using "Mainconcept AVC/AAC - Export for G1".  A file CineCap processed 1.04GB 16mm HD 2.09 minute B&W file rendered to 8.72MB.  Another CineCap processed 14.4GB Reg8 HD 33:18 minute colour file rendered to 135MB.

Two Options For Upload:

If the file is less than 1000MB (almost 1GB), then you can use the Cpanel - file manger - upload process.  Just logon using lifeti15 and follow the steps.

The other option is to use Smartftp.

Using SmartFTP:

Use SmartFTP to access our website:

address: lifetimeheritagefilms.com/

login: lifeti15

password: pwd

port: 21

Uploading (info for both methods):

Go to the following path and place your file….the last two folders are obviously the year and month that you are in….

domains/lifetimeheritagefilms.com/public_html/wp-content/uploads/YEAR/MONTH/

When sending someone a link for a file to download, here is an example…….

http://www.lifetimeheritagefilms.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/some_download_file.zip

The person that you send the link to will only be able to download the one file because they cannot look at any of the directory.

Name of the file should not have spaces….this may or may not cause a problem.

Reconnecting Drives for FTP Access

Occasionally the linux box has been messed around with a bit, or the network has had some issues, and you might not be able to access some drives via FTP when you need to! Open a SSH program, and dial to the following credentials:

Address: 70.68.6.216
Login: paulish
Password: 0ct0b3r

Please note, the IP address changes every few months, so you may have to get an updated one

Once connected, simply type "./reconnect_e" to re-connect the E drive, or "./reconnect_k" to re-connect the K drive, or "./reconnect_m" to re-connect the M drive!

See the following tutorial video to help you along if nessecary!

Guest FTP Access for TMM.com

In some cases, emailing or uploading files won't cut it.  We created a guest FTP login for tmmedia.ca.

  1. Open a program capable of FTP.  If you don't have one, you can download either SmartFTP for Windows or Classic FTP for Mac.
  2. Login with the following credentials:
    Address: ftp.tmmedia.ca
    Login: tmm_guest
    Password: coff33!
  3. Upload your file to this root directory
