Monitoring media file transfers

The Transfer Monitor is used to monitor all K2 Media Client transfer jobs and their
status. A transfer job is created for each “send to” or “import/export” operation. Once
created, transfer jobs are added to the transfer job queue where they are dispatched in
a first in, first out basis. Up to four transfer jobs can execute simultaneously. Any
additional jobs wait in the queue.

NOTE: If the

System | Transfer Monitor

menu option is grayed out, review your level

of user access. For more information, see

“Types of K2 users” on page 22
