It’s ideal for radio stations that manage significant amounts of audio content. With Centova Cast's FTP Manager, you can streamline your media upload process for a seamless experience.

Using FTP is highly recommended for advanced users. It allows for faster transfer speeds compared to standard web uploads. This is especially beneficial when uploading high-quality audio files, such as music tracks and podcasts. Additionally, FTP supports batch uploads, enabling you to transfer multiple files simultaneously.

To start with the FTP Manager in Centova Cast, configure your FTP settings through the Centova Cast interface. Set up your FTP credentials, including your server address, username, and password. This will establish a secure connection. Once configured, use any standard FTP client, such as FileZilla or Cyberduck, to connect to your Centova Cast server.

The FTP Manager not only facilitates media uploads but also helps you manage your files effectively.
