This form is for editing or creating a destination, and gives information about how the destination can be used to publish content.

During the first stage of creating a new destination, only the first two sections of the form are visible. Once they are filled in, press ‘Next’ to move forward and show the rest of the form. The complete form is also shown when editing an existing destination.

Properties

Name
The name of the destination. It must be unique, but is only used to make it easier to distinguish different destinations.
Description
A fuller description of the purpose of the destination.
Move Method
The method used to copy the files to the destination. The actual set of options available will depend on how your Bricolage installation is configured, but the following might be available:
File System
A simple copy on the local file system.
FTP
Upload to a remote server using FTP.
SFTP
Upload to a remote server using secure FTP.
WebDAV
Upload to a remote server using HTTP with WebDAV.
Copy Resources
If checked, the resources being deployed on the server will be copied to a temporary directory before any ‘actions’ are applied to them.
Publishes
If checked (which is the default and common case), this destination will be used for publishing finished output.
Previews
If checked, this destination can be used for previewing output.
Site
If you haven't defined any sites, this will automatically be the 'Default Site'. Otherwise, select from the list of sites.

Output Channels

This section is used to set the output channels for which this destination will be used.

Actions

Use this part of the form to add, edit or remove actions, which are the types of processing that output is subjected to when it is sent to the destination.

The common case is for there to be only one action, of type ‘Move’, which performs the actual copy or upload operation.

Servers

Use this part of the form to add, edit or remove servers, which define how output is sent to the server when it is published. For example, if the FTP method is being used to copy output, a username and password must be given for the server.
