Rsync - Video CDN [EN]
For users, who prefer to upload content independently and don’t require immediate availability, our system supports automated file listing and import via rsync.
We recommend setting up an rsync server pointed at the directory where video files are stored. Rsync is well-suited for this task because it allows efficient, recursive file listing — unlike traditional protocols such as FTP.
The CDN periodically scans the rsync directory, identifies files that haven’t yet been imported, and queues them for ingestion.
This approach is ideal for workflows where some delay between file upload and publication is acceptable. In many cases, users upload files in advance and only make them publicly visible on the site after a day or more — by which time the content has already been processed and distributed through the CDN.
In addition you may configure http server at your side for exposing the same directory as rsync. This makes possible to fetch the content using multithreading http method.
