after taking a recording, we need to ftp it to both a primary and secondary audio media server. What's the best way to do this?

Hi Janine,

The Record element can only FTP to a single place. There are several things you can do if you want to FTP to multiple places:

1) Turn off the Record element's built in FTP functionality and have it store the recording in a temporary location. Then write an action element that FTPs the file to the two locations and then deletes the file from the temporary location. The advantage of this is that you have flexibility in how you do this. You could add a third place, you could switch to SFTP, etc.

2) It should be possible on certain servers that host an FTP site to run a script when a file appears in a directory. You could have the Record element FTP to this server and the server would have a script that would run when a file appears in the directory to then FTP the file to other places.

Obviously #1 is the preferable solution because you are sticking to an element within the callflow that allows the application designer to choose how to use it. That element could eventually become a reusable FTP element you could use for other projects (ambitious huh? 8-)

Hope this helps!
