Winmedia/Podcasting Server
Store Multimedia Files
The Winmedia server hosts audio and video files too large to store on any of the Web servers. This server also stores podcasting files.
URLs
- podcast.ecu.edu
- winmedia.ecu.edu
Get Started
Go to help.ecu.edu >> Submit Online Request. Complete the Winmedia/Podcasting Web Space Request Form located in the Online Forms section on the left.
The easiest way to access the folders is through a mapped network drive at
\\cf5\winmedia
To map a network drive:
- Right click on "my computer" and select "explore"
- Within Windows Explorer, right click on "my computer" in the left pane and select "map network drive"
- Choose a drive letter or you can just use the default letter
- In the "folder" field, type in the path to your folder: \\cf5\winmedia\subsite
- Check the box that says "reconnect at logon" so this drive will automatically appear each time you reboot your PC.
Your URL will look like this in the Web browser:
(winmedia) http://winmedia.ecu.edu/subsite/filename
(podcast) http://podcast.ecu.edu/subsite/filename
Files can also be uploaded to the Winmedia server using an FTP program. Use the following paths:
CF5(winmedia) – winmedia.ecu.edu
FTP paths
CF5 – WinMedia – winmedia/subsite
