“I need to know how to access the files to at least see them.”
One typical way would be to use your webserver. For example, if your Apache document root is /var/www you can edit your Application.xml property to be “/var/www/content”. Then you can view your files by browsing to “Free classifieds - yourdomain.com”.
“Things like that are so easy with server side scripting, like PHP. I am assuming that that there is no scenario where I would use any of that on the video server itself.”

If I understand what you’re looking to do, you might not need a Wowza module. In your web CMS, you’ll have the user’s name and the date. You’ll have the Flash client (user) publish a stream name with that info, and have your Wowza application use a “live-record” streamtype. You’ll keep track of the filenames in your CMS in conjunction with a database.
