Staging of Media library files and folders

Kentico CMS supports staging of the physical files and folders stored in the file system in a Media library. Staging tasks related to Media library files are logged in CMS Desk -> Tools -> Content Staging -> Objects.

 

You can limit the maximal size of synchronized media library files by adding the following key to the appSettings section of you web.config file. The value is entered in kiloBytes and files larger than the value will not be synchronized.

 

<add key="CMSMediaFileMaxStagingSize" value="1024" />

 

Please note: Changes in media library files and folders are logged as content staging tasks only when performed via the UI. If you make some changes directly in the library folder in the file system (e.g. upload or update some files via FTP), the changes are not logged.

Also, if you make some change to a file via the UI and then update the file via FTP, the current file (the one updated via FTP) will be transferred to the target server, even if the staging task was created before the file upload. This happens because binary data of the files are loaded in synchronization time, not when the synchronization task is logged.
