Uploading Files for File Transfer

You can upload files to the server on which Zixi Broadcaster is installed to make them available for download using Zixi protocol. The location of the files that will be uploaded is relative to the Root folder that was specified in the Settings > General screen.

Note

Before you upload a file, make sure Zixi Proxy is installed on your computer. If it is not installed, you will be prompted with a notification and a link for download and installation.


To upload a file for file transfer:

  1. In Zixi Broadcaster, click the Files.
  2. Click New Upload.
    The Select Files to Upload dialog opens:
  3. Navigate to the path in which the file is located and select the file.
  4. For very large files, it is possible to receive an email notification when the upload process was completed. To enable this feature, type the desired email address, or multiple email addresses separated by commas in the Send upload completion notification to field.

  5. Click Upload
    The file will be uploaded using the Zixi protocol. The upload process is displayed at the bottom of the screen (Files Transfer Queue tab). When the upload is complete, it will be recorded in the File Transfer Log tab.
