Setting the Filetransfer Server
Additional configuration might be required when the Interplay Server is running inside of a
network configured using NAT. In this case, the IP returned by the Avid Interplay Engine is
the internal address and not the external address needed by the client. The following change
in the workgroup.xml configuration file tells the client to connect to the file transfer server
via its name instead of address. This allows clients to connect to the file transfer server in
most standard NAT configurations.
<XML>
...
<http>
<filetransferservername>
myserver.mydomain.com
</filetransferservername>
</http>
...
</XML>
This file is located in the Interplay Engine installation directory, for example,
• C:\Program Files\Avid\Avid Interplay Engine\Data\Apache\conf\workgroup.xml
(non-cluster systems)
• S:\WorkgroupData\Apache\conf\workgroup.xml (cluster systems).
