Sharing Programs via the internet

[Christopher Hall]

Bob Nichols of Main has set up an FTP Server for sharing PEG video programs. It just came online, and is free for PEG stations to use and should be a great way for the Colorado stations to share programming and download PEG programs from across the US if you need good programming.

I'm uploading a program right now so we should have a Colorado folder soon on the site.

The process is simple. Go to http://www.pegmedia.org . Register online for free. This is a high-speed server with lots of bandwidth so you should be able to download programs fairly quickly.

To acquire files, you will need to download Filezilla, a safe and free FTP client software that will provide you with a directory of Link TV programs to download to your computer/server and play on your channel. Go to http://filezilla-project.org/download.php. The web site is accessed via FTP via the following:

* User: your username on PegMedia.org
* Password:: Your password on PegMedia.org
* Host:: ftp.pegmedia.org
* Port:: 1098

Did you get this to work? I tried it unsuccessfully.

[Christopher Hall]

Yes I uploaded several programs and downloaded several.

I will have to test it again.

Hey, are we gonna try to have a CAG meeting? We are trying to put together an Open Media Summit in April or May. Maybe it would draw more people to have it at the same time?

I am adding 2 45 min programs on Colorado Open Meetings Law and Colorado Open Records Law. Good info for activists and journalists in Colorado.
