Output File Location Options

When composing with DITA-OT or Antenna House, you can specify where to store output files by selecting a location in the Store Results list.

In Repository

The In Repository option stores the output file in the repository. You must specify these additional fields:
Field Description
Location Browse to and select the folder where the output file will be located.
Note: Many folders in the Administration cabinet restrict users from creating or importing folders or files. If you select one of these folders, the job will fail.
Existing Files Specify how to manage existing files:
  • If you select Overwrite existing files in repository, only the current version of the output file is maintained in the repository. Older versions of the output file are permanently destroyed.
  • If you select Create new version of existing files in repository, Astoria creates a new version of the output file, allowing you to roll forward a previous version, if necessary.

To FTP

The To FTP option stores results to an FTP server. You must specify these additional fields:
Field Description
FTP Server Enter the name of the FTP server to which you would like the output file to be delivered. For example, ftp://ftp.yourcompany.com.
FTP Directory Enter the directory path to the folder on the server to which you would like the output file to be delivered. For example, uploads/maps/mymap.

This folder must already exist on the FTP server. If it does not, the job will fail.
Username Enter the username used to log into the FTP server.
Password Enter the password used to log into the FTP server.
