FTP access by Internet Explorer
You can use Internet Explorer to transfer files via FTP between a PC and the FTP
interface on a stand-alone K2 system 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, 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://

any account set up on the machine hosting the FTP interface. Also refer to “FTP and
media access security” on page 163 for information about accounts and FTP access.
The hostname can be the name of a stand-alone K2 client or it can be the name of a
K2 Media Server. (You cannot make a FTP connection to a K2 client with shared
storage or to a K2 Control Point PC.)
Once you have logged in, the two virtual directories are displayed.
