A process for staging file assets on a live Web server is described that includes detecting an index page of the Web server, creating a staging folder on the Web server, wherein the staging folder does not default to a directory listing when accessed, inserting a randomized string into a name of file assets containing content to be staged, and storing the file assets in the staging folder. By creating the staging folder that does not default to a directory listing when accessed, a system is enabled where users may access the file assets while other users may not.

Live-server content staging

A content management system (CMS) is made up of a content server that includes a metadata file stored on the content server relating to transactions performed with a work-in-progress (WIP), a first folder on the content server for storing notifications to a plurality of users in a workflow group, and a second folder on the content server for storing one or more versions of the WIP. The CMS also includes a remote filing system associated with the content server. The CMS also includes interface logic at a computer of each of the plurality of users allows the user to manipulate the WIP and polls the first folder through the remote filing system for locating the notifications. A WIP state variable is included within the metadata file that assists the control of edit access to the WIP.
