i have configured open ssh on the server that red5 is installed on. i have created a folder at /usr/lib/red5/webapps/oflaDemo/streams/mysite. i have tested open ssh and it is working fine.

however the file never gets to the server at all.

in my flash video settings i have enabled streaming. i have set the rtmp address to rtmp://myred5serverurl.

the problem seems to be that the file never gets to the location on the server. why is this?

please help.

Can you successfully run a secure copy command (scp) from the command line on the Drupal server and move a test file over to the Red5?

I'd recommend temporarily changing the code in flashvideo_streaming.module so that Drupal reports back the result of the SCP command in every attempt.

After line 237, you could try adding:

drupal_set_message('Attempted to move '.$file->filename .' to the streaming server.<br /><strong>Command Attempted:</strong> '. $scp_command .'<br /><strong>Error message:</strong> <pre>'. $scp_result .'</pre>', 'error');

thanks so much for that info managed to track down the error. the apache user didn't have rights to read the .ssh files in the user's home on the server.
