Action Required: To avoid interruption of services, please update any domain references defined in the document by October 20th, 2022.

Dear Valued Customer,

As CNET Content Solutions merged into a 1WorldSync solution, we’re excited to offer a pathway to leverage new technologies and features as they become available. Over the last 15 months, we’ve integrated CNET applications into the 1WorldSync ecosystem and one final step in this process is transitioning DataSource domains used by our customer base from cnetcontent.com to 1worldsync.com. In order to maintain current functionalities and take advantage of new ones that will be introduced, please update all domain references defined below.

EXTRANET

What is the new domain for the Extranet?

Many of our customers use the Extranet on a daily basis. Old access was via https://extranet.cnetcontentsolutions.com/ or https://extranet.cnetcontent.com/. The new URL to access the Extranet will be https://datasource.cs.1worldsync.com/. Please adjust any bookmarks related to the old domains to reflect the new domain. The new URL is available to use now.

FTP END OF LIFE

What is being phased out?

We are phasing out standard FTP (port 21) in the coming months. To avoid having to make changes to your infrastructure (config files, firewall rules, etc.) again, we strongly suggest that you do one of the following:

FTP

What if I access the FTP site to upload and download data from 1WorldSync?

Please adjust your FTP clients to utilize the new URLs. The new FTP server addresses will be available for use on September 19th.

What do I do if I use the ContentConnector?

There are two options available for using the ContentConnector solution to access and process Download.zip files. 

Option 1 – Adjust the ContentConnector.xml file to use the new domains, No code change is required. To utilize the new domains, the ContentConnector.xml file must be updated:
