Dear Support,

I am testing wowza streaming engine for my company. I need to upload 4K video to your server and have it streamed as VOD to my boss. I tried to sftp in to the wowza IP but it doesnt seem to connect. May i know if there is any other way to upload the video content to wowza?

Thanks,

Take a look at this article for more information on VOD with Wowza Streaming Engine and see if that helps you - [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-video-on-demand-streaming](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-video-on-demand-streaming)

I’m not sure how you have your Wowza Streaming Engine installed, but you can place your VOD assets like the tip suggests - “To play your own VOD file, copy it to [install-dir]/content and use its file name in the Media File Name field of the Test Players window. By default, Wowza Streaming Engine streams VOD content from the [install-dir]/content folder.”
