Configuring the Transport Service
Configure the Transport Service to make actual publishing of content over one or more transport protocols possible.
Procedure
- Open
cd_transport_conf.xml, by default located in the Content Managerconfigdirectory, in a plain-text or XML editor. - In the
WorkFolderelement, set the value of theLocationattribute to a folder where the Transport Service can store temporary files. - If you want to configure multiple thread pools for the Transport Service, you can do so by insert an element called
Workersdirectly under theWorkFolderelement, and setting one or more of the following attributes:TransportPriorityPoolSize- The maximum number of workers for normal transport. Defaults to 5 if omitted. This attribute can also be set to 0 (meaning unlimited threads).
NormalPriorityPoolSize- The maximum number of workers for transport operations such as unzipping and state synchronization. Defaults to 5 if omitted.
HighPriorityPoolSize- The maximum number of workers for high-priority transport. Defaults to 5 if omitted.
Each of the attribute values must be equal to, or higher than, the number of threads configured for the Publisher in the MMC Snap-in.
Note: If you store metadata on the file system rather than in a database, you cannot configure multiple workers. - Find the Senders and add the following Sender element(s) as needed:
- Local File System

<Sender Type="Local" Class="com.tridion.transport.connection.connectors.FileTransportConnector" /> - FTP
-
<Sender Type="FTP" Class="com.tridion.transport.connection.connectors.FTPTransportConnector" /> - SFTP
-
<Sender Type="FTP" Class="com.tridion.transport.connection.connectors.FTPTransportConnector" /> - SSHFTP
-
<Sender Type="SSHFTP" Class="com.tridion.transport.connection.connectors.SSHFTPTransportConnector" /> - HTTP or HTTPS
-
<Sender Type="HTTPS" Class="com.tridion.transport.connection.connectors.HTTPSTransportConnector" />
