How to save a recorded stream .flv file outside of an FMS application directory?

I have successfully been able to write some client-side ActionScript that allows me to record my webcam and mic data to my FMS server.  The .flv files get saved to a directory under the applications directory.  However, I need to process those flv files for a web application and would like those .flv files to be saved to the web app's directory (outside of the FMS application directory).  I have tried changing the <Streams> tag in the Application.xml file that I placed in the FMS application directory, but that simply did not work.

My goal is simple:  to save the recorded stream data outside of the FMS application's directory.  I have been going crazy trying to do this, but would like to know any pointers that any of you experts have.  Can this be done?  If not, how can I execute a server side PHP script after the stream is done recording.  I know about using the exec() function in PHP, but am unsure as to how to execute that script via client-side actionscript.

Here is the path to my FMS server (Linux OS) installation and the application directory.  The application name is "ngale".
/opt/adobe/fms/applications/ngale

Here is the path that my client-side ActionScript is placing the .flv files of the recorded streams
/opt/adobe/fms/applications/ngale/streams/recordings/

Here is the path to my web application
/home/user/public_html/dev.ngale.net/public/

Here is the path that I would like for the .flv recording files to be saved to
/home/user/public_html/dev.ngale.net/public/audio/.flv

Please help before I lose any more hair!!

Thanks!

    Lazlo,

    Did you end up solving this? I have .flv recordings saved in my applications directory and I need to transfer them to an HTTP accessible location. I'm hosting my FMS on Influxis (http://influxis.com/). Do I need to find another hosting solution which gives me more control?

    Thanks,

    Wes

    On Influxis they can enable FTP for your account. Work like a charm:

    Remeber to ask your host to enable ftp_get().


    Hope that helps.

    Okay, but what happens if I have another application that I want elsewhere on my web sesrver?  Can I place multiple lines of VHOST.APPSDIR?  For example:

    VHOST.APPSDIR = /path/to/application/one

    VHOST.APPSDIR = /path/to/application/two

    VHOST.APPSDIR=/path/to/application/three


    Is it valid to have more than one VHOST.APPSDIR directive in the fms.ini file?

    Thanks!

    I never used this way, but I use this way

    VHOST.APPSDIR = /path/to/application

    and i used many intances of NetConnections for each app

    rtmp://localhost/one

    rtmp://localhost/two

    rtmp://localhost/three

    regards
