Hi,

Now I am using nfs mount to access my VOD movies and records on storage server.

Can wowza be told to use FTP protocol? (vsftpd client (wowza)—\>vsftp server -\>file(storage) )

And if it is possible what I need to write in config:

???

You can install and use FTP on a server that is running Wowza, and you can allow upload/download to Wowza content folder(s). There is no settings or configuration changes to do in Wowza to support that.
