records on external ftp server

[speedmaker]

Hello,

Is there an option or an integrated feature to record on an external ftp server and not use the space on the harddisk ?

thx Speedmaker

Kind of.

The recording process in vicidial is a little bit complex

First every channel of the calls will be recorded on different files.

Using a cron job the first process is to mix all tracks on a single WAV file

The second process on a cron job is to compress and convert that file to a MP3 (by default)

Next (This is optional)

You can setup an ftp server credentials in /etc/astguiclient2.conf and enable the transfer of the file to an external FTP server.

Please note that on every step the vicidial scripts will update the database with the file location.

Also, the original WAV are stored permanently on the server, you must enable a cron job to purge the folder ORIG

Once a recording is ttasnfered to the FTP Server it will. Keep a copy of the original file on /var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE/FTP you should delete those file too in order to save disk space.


Please do not attempt to mount a network filesystem to store the recordings directly to a remote server, the vicidial way is very safe and efficient

I like to keep my ORIG for 3 days and my FTP for 10 days, this way In case something happens with the archive server I have a security copy on my phone server at least for the last days
