Destination
A destination represents a location to which a target can be published, and allows scheduling as well as format (UTF-8 vs. ASCII) control over the published content.
Destinations are useful for controlling individual sites that may need different settings or to publish on different schedules using different locations (represented by Transports). Each destination has a transport that represents a server where the published content will reside. Destinations have access rights restrictions by group membership.
When publishing a target, Cascade Server allows the selection of the individual destinations that are associated with that target. This is generally used when content is to be published to a development or internal server for final Quality Assurance before being pushed to a live site.
A target contains a collection of one or many destinations. These destinations defines the locations where the target can publish to. The location is defined by the destinations associated transport. The transport represents a server location.
Additional Notes
The directory that is specified in the destination will override the directory specified in the transport that the destination uses.
