Vidispine can initiate transfers between storages using FileCatalyst. For this to work, the source and/or destination storages must first be configured properly.
To specify that FileCatalyst can be used to transfer from/to a storage, a special Storage Method has to be added:
URI
filecatalyst://{user}:{password}/{host}[:{port}]/{any relative path from the FileCatalyst root}
type
TRANSFER
Example
Assume that Vidispine and FileCatalyst runs on the same server, and that you want to create a storage to handle /srv/media/incoming. Further assume that in FileCatalyst there is a user fc with password s3cret which has is FileCatalyst home root directory at /srv/media. Further, assume that FileCatalyst is running on port 2100.
