dest

Important

The dest command is only available on Makito X with Storage dual-height model.

The dest command is used to manage recording export destinations (i.e., add destinations, edit settings for destinations, and delete destinations).

Tip

First create the destination, then use the transfer command.

Synopsis

dest create host=addr name=destname [type=ftp,ftps] [path=rpath] 
  [username=uname] [password=pwd] [port=ftpport] [passive=yes, no] 
  [untrust=yes, no] [watchfolder=yes, no] 
dest id/name/all delete 
dest id/name/all get 
dest id set 
dest id/name test

Actions

Action	Description
create	Creates an export destination to be available to transfer video and metadata. A series of one or more parameter=value pairs can be specified. See Parameters below.
delete	Removes the destination.
get	Displays information about the destination. See Parameters below. You can specify a destination or all destinations. Tip To display a summary of all the destinations in a table format, you can use `dest all get table`.
set	Changes the information on the destination if it is not used by any transfer.
test	Tests the FTP connection of this destination.

Parameters

Parameter	Default	Description/Values
`name`	n/a	Specify a name for the destination, 1 to 32 characters.
`type`	ftp	Select the protocol type, either: ftp: File Transfer Protocol ftps: FTP with explicit Transport Layer Security (TLS)
`host`	n/a	The server's DNS host name or IP address for the destination.
`path`	n/a	The directory on the host.
`username`	n/a	A valid username to access the ftp server.
`password`	n/a	The password to access that ftp server with the provided username.
`port`	21	The port number for the destination server.
`passive`	yes	The FTP data connection mode for the transfer, either yes for passive mode, or no for active mode: no: Active—The client tells the server what port it is listening on, and the data connection is established by the server with the client via the specified port. For this to work, there either needs to be no firewalls or the firewalls defined must understand the FTP protocol. yes: Passive—The client opens two random ports. One port issues a PASV command to inform the server that it is in Passive mode. The server opens a random port and responds to the client. The client uses the second port to establish the data connection with the server via the port specified by the server.
`untrust`	no	This parameter can allow the Makito X to connect to an FTPS server that is using an untrusted SSL certificate. Note Type yes to accept untrusted certificates if type is ftps.
`watchfolder`	no	Type yes to create an HVC-compatible mRSS (Media RSS) metadata file. Note This file contains information about recording used by platforms to process files. When files show up here, HVC starts processing.
