 So far so good. (That's what I have done myself; tried and true.)

 Unless the network is really flaky, we could skip this step,
and rsync¹ the files from the laptop to the server during the talks.
Once the talk is over and the file transfer finishes, the encoder
can start compressing the file.  Thus a talk at 10 AM can be online
at noon.  Western Europe would not mind the timeshift, anyway ;-)


¹Is rsync the ideal way to copy a file while it is growing?
