About importing and exporting files
You can import and export files using standard multimedia. Source files can be
located on a local K2 Summit client or K2 Solo Media Server disk drive or a mapped
networked drive. The source and destination devices must be in the same domain.
If importing or exporting files by accessing a K2 Summit client or K2 Solo Media
Server 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
or destination 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.
