Streaming Media - Accessing your content on DoIT's Streaming Media Servers

A brief listing of the connection methods and URLs to DoIT Streaming Media server accounts.

Below is a listing of the server upload URLs for for each service we offer. "[acount name]" is your folder name on the server, not your user name (in most cases those two are identical, but there are exceptions). Note that unless you are on campus or using a VPN connection, only WebDAV will be available to you due to campus firewall rules. Playback URLs for each service are also given as a reminder, since they are generally different from the upload account URL structure.

*Note for Macintosh WebDAV users: If you are getting prompted for your password multiple times, see the solution for that problem in this document. In short, make sure you include the account name in the URL. Windows users can skip that part and then navigate to their content folder once connected, but Macintosh WebDAV will not work unless you go directly to your content directory.
