FTP access by Internet Explorer
You can use Internet Explorer to transfer files via FTP between a PC and the FTP
interface on a K2 Media Client (internal storage) or a K2 Media Server, so long as
both source and destination machines are on the same network.
While the K2 FTP interface supports local languages (see “Internationalization” on
page 136 ) some international characters are not displayed correctly in Internet
Explorer. Use only English language characters with Internet Explorer.
To access FTP using Internet Explorer, use the following syntax in the Address field:
ftp://
. The username/password can be
any account set up on the machine hosting the FTP interface. The hostname can be
the name of a K2 Media Client with internal storage or it can be the name of a K2
Media Server. (You cannot make a FTP connection to a K2 Media Client with
external storage or to a K2 Control Point PC.)
Once you have logged in, the two virtual directories are displayed.
