Bulk Upload Videos

This guide walks you through the process of uploading videos to your server using FTP or SFTP, followed by employing the encoder to locate the uploaded files and adding them to the Encoder queue.

Step 1: Connect to Your Encoder's Hosting Server

I personally favor SFTP over FTP, primarily due to the enhanced security SFTP offers during file transfers. Furthermore, SFTP provides faster data transfer rates than HTTP.

Ensure you upload your videos to a directory accessible by your PHP script. For instance, I set up a directory named "/var/www/tmp/" and transfer all video files there.

Once you've uploaded all the desired files:

Step 2: Navigate to the Encoder Interface

• Click on the Bulk Encode tab located on the right-hand side.
• Input the absolute directory path into the text field. In this example, it would be "/var/www/tmp/".
• Click the List Files button.

You'll see a list of your uploaded files displayed. Simply select the ones you want to encode and hit the Add to Queue button.
