About importing and exporting files

You can import and export files using standard multimedia. Source files can be located on a mapped network drive. The source and destination devices must be in the same domain.

If importing or exporting files by accessing a K2 Summit system with remote AppCenter on a network-connected Control Point PC, your view of the “local” Windows file system is a view of the Control Point PC. However, the “local” drives (such as C:) that AppCenter uses for source and destination are not the local drives of the Control Point PC. Therefore you must map a network drive on the Control Point PC to create a verified source or destination. To do this, go to the source machine, create a shared folder, then on the Control Point PC map that shared folder as a network drive. Then you can import or export using the shared network drive. Refer to procedures later in this section.

Note: Do not use the K2 Summit system C: system drive for any kind of transfers.

If importing or exporting files on a K2 Summit SAN-attached system, while it appears as if your view of the “local” Windows file system is that of the K2 Summit SAN-attached system, in actuality the “local” drives (such as C:) that AppCenter uses for source or destination are the local drives of the K2 Media Server. Therefore you must similarly map a network drive on the K2 Summit SAN-attached system to create a verified source or destination. To do this, on the source machine create a shared folder, then on the K2 Summit SAN-attached system map that shared folder as a network drive. Then you can import or export using the shared network drive. Refer to procedures later in this section.

K2 media storage (the V: drive) is the only local drive in the K2 Summit system that have adequate capacity for transfers. If files have to be imported or exported from "local" disks, the only disks a user can use is the V: drive. Otherwise, you must use a mapped network drive.

If importing from a 3rd party external drive, playing media while importing is not supported.

Note: If you import to a file or stream media that has the same name as an asset already existing in the destination location, an Abort/Rename/Retry dialog box appears.
