If you want to catalog from FTP or HTTP servers or to work with URL-cataloged assets, you must use an Asset Handling Set that has the Asset Storage Module supporting URL activated. If you want an Asset Handling Set to neither work with URL-cataloged assets nor to catalog from FTP or HTTP servers, you may want to deactivate the URL AssetStore Module. For details on how to activate or deactivate an Asset Storage module for an Asset Handling Set, see “(De)activating Asset Handling Modules” .
There are two ways to catalog assets from FTP or HTTP servers: via menu item and with drag and drop. Let’s start with the menu item method. And remember: You need a fully licensed version of the URL AssetStore Module to catalog from FTP or HTTP servers.
NOTE: TAG Files! Cumulus can create TAG files on an FTP server while cataloging, if the Metadata module Cumulus Metadata Support is activated for the employed Asset Handling Set and the user, who catalogs, is allowed to save files on this FTP server.
