How to

In the FotoWeb site configuration, go to the Workflows tab and create a new action.

Now choose the output type for the action. You can choose between File system (local drives or SMB network shares) and FTP.

Then fill in the path to transfer assets to when they are sent to the action.

Delete the original asset

If you would like to delete the original asset, i.e. in reality move the original asset to an output, you can do so by going to the Asset Actions tab and choosing to Delete asset.
