Server Location: Select Remote to have the segments uploaded to a remote web server,
using FTP or SFTP; select Local to use the local server in the device itself.

Transfer Protocol: This configures the protocol to be used between the 9223 and the
web server for uploading the files. The two options are FTP and SFTP (Secure FTP).
