    Howdy all! 

    I have managed to get Superdesk setup on a Digital Ocean droplet to test out functionality and make a proof of concept that I can pitch to my board of directors. Our company also has a contract with AAP and we currently grab our stories via FTP xml files. Try as I might, I cannot seem to get Superdesk to ingest the feed. Here's the settings:

    Feed Settings: FTP feed
    Feed Parser: News ML 1.2 Parser
    Host/User/Pass: all confirmed correct, I can log just fine using a ftp client. 
    Path: /
    Local Path: /tmp

    I've tried a lot of local paths to no avail. Although, I did notice a cheeky xml file did at some point land in the tmp directory so I'm guessing I'm close. I figure since superdesk was created with a lot of input from the folks at AAP, this would be a little smoother, so it must be a shortcoming in my knowledge.

    Any help getting this bad boy to work would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi Kyle,

    Is the parser correctly ingesting files if you place them in the local folder? The local folder needs to be mounted and accessible to the ingest process.

    PS: You can contact me directly using mgourlay@aap.com.au
