You can, but I think that you will also find that this can be a source of confusion. You look on the drive and see the folder (directory) name as being My_Cool_Movie and you tell someone to download My_Cool_Movie, but the ingest server will see what the name that you created during the creation process, and My_Cool_Movie will never be seen on the server GUI.
All the internal documents will refer to the original name. Of course, the one server that you try it on will prove me wrong, but I can guarantee that most all servers ignore the directory name.
As I type this I see that Manuel has just said the same thing, and closed the same way that I was going to – Do it over.
And while your making things right, make sure that the drive is a properly formatted ext2/3 drive.

Basically, you can call the folder anything you like (no weird characters though, just in case). The content server doesn't much care what you call it, as it ignores the name of your original folder, since the name it cares about is found inside one of the files that gets ingested.

Hello friends,
Is it okay to change the name of the DCP folder after it has been created? Sometimes I don’t like the name and want to change it. Upon testing it, it will play in the Quvis simulator, but I have yet to try it on a real system on ingest.
thanks,
JP
