Transfer mechanisms

You can move material between systems using the following mechanisms, each of which offers a different set of features:

  • Manual mechanisms — These are the AppCenter transfer features. Refer to the K2 AppCenter User Manual for AppCenter instructions. When transferring between K2 systems you can browse and select files for transfer. When transferring between K2 systems and other types of systems, one or more of the following might be required, depending on software versions. Refer to release notes for the version information:
    • Specify the IP address, path, and file name to initiate a transfer.
    • Add the remote host in Configuration Manager before the transfer.
    • Enter machine names in compliance with UIM naming conventions.
  • Automatic mechanisms, including the following:
    • K2 FTP interface — This interface supports transfers via third party FTP applications, such as automation systems. To demonstrate this, you can use Internet Explorer to transfer files between a PC and the FTP interface on a stand-alone K2 Summit Production Client or a K2 Media Server on the same network.
    • Remote control protocols — Industry standard remote control automation applications can initiate transfers. The protocol command must be sent to the K2 client. This applies to both stand-alone and shared storage K2 systems.
