Uploading to FTP servers using FileCopy
Uploading files to an FTP server can be useful when you need to upload a file from PlayoutONE to be accessed by the outside world. An example of this is uploading the reconciliation file for the commercial play log every day so that the Traffic Director can run reconciliation wherever they are.
