FTP Uploader for Bulk Video Delivery

The Vodlix FTP uploader is built for the reality that nobody launches a catalogue through a browser. A web form is fine for one film and painful by the twentieth. A launch library is hundreds of files arriving from a distributor with their own delivery process and their own tools. FTP gives distributors a route they already know and gives your team ingest that does not need babysitting. For OTT operators onboarding a back catalogue, FTP is the practical route in.

FTP remains the right answer for bulk video delivery because browser uploads fail in predictable ways: they break on the largest file, they need someone present to keep the tab open, and they do not resume after a dropped connection. FTP was built for exactly this job, with large files, unattended transfers and resumable uploads. Everyone who delivers content professionally understands it. Vodlix supports secure FTP so the industry's standard delivery method works with your platform.

The Vodlix FTP uploader is a drop point rather than a progress bar. Distributors and production partners place files into a route they know, and ingest proceeds without anyone watching a browser. A migration of hundreds of titles runs on its own, overnight if needed, while your team does other work. Unattended ingest is what makes large scale content delivery practical for a small operations team.

Files delivered through the Vodlix FTP uploader feed the same transcoding pipeline as every other upload, so they arrive encoded, packaged and ready to publish. There is no separate processing step for FTP content. Once transcoding completes, titles appear in the CMS with their processing state visible, covered under Video Uploading and Transcoding. Bulk delivery and standard ingest produce identical results, which keeps the catalogue consistent however content arrives.
