Hi all Im trying to figure out what the difference is between Deployment Agent and hot folders are? Also i noticed there's no documentation for DA in MediaBin 4.6.1, is it still applicable?

Thanks

Download the MediaBin 4.6.1 Documentation Bundle (Zip file)
search the pdf file MBDA_46_user_V01_EN.pdf

DA is still appilcable with MB Version 4.6.1

The Deployment Agent add-on for the MediaBin platform simplifies and accelerates the
process of delivering updated assets across an enterprise-wide network. It automatically
and securely generates “repurposed” assets from source assets in the MediaBin
repository and then transfers them to a network file system or an FTP site.

MediaBin features automated asset processing using hot folders. A hot folder is a file
system folder or MediaBin folder that is monitored by the MediaBin Publication
service. When a file or group of files is added to a hot folder, MediaBin automatically
runs an associated task on the files.Hot folders can also be used to automate the insertion
of assets into MediaBin, thereby enabling network users to insert assets
into the MediaBin repository from their desktops and without having to open
any additional client software.
