# ResourceSpecification

Specifies the initial location for a new asset in a Portfolio. The specified location can be a publicly accessible web location or an enhanced FTP location. If you use an enhanced FTP location, use the syntax below to specify the location of your asset: `File://ETFTP/Import/image1.jpg`

**note:** This object is associated with resources in a classic content portfolio.

Marketing Cloud Engagement now uses Content Builder to manage content. To interact with Content Builder programmatically, use the [Asset endpoints in the REST API](/docs/marketing/marketing-cloud/references/mc_rest_assets).
