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.
If importing or exporting files on an external storage K2 Media Client, while it
appears as if your view of the “local” Windows file system is that of the external
storage K2 Media Client, in actuality the “local” drives (such as C:) that AppCenter
uses for source or destination are the local drives of the K2 Media Server. Therefore
you must similarly map a network drive on the external storage K2 Media Client to
create a verified source or destination, even if the source or destination you intend is
in fact a local drive on the external storage K2 Media Client itself. To do this, on the
source or destination machine create a shared folder, then on the external storage K2
Media Client 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.
Exporting to the V: drive is not recommended. The V: drive is reserved for the
primary media storage and should not be used for file import/export. The location of
the V: drive differs based on the type of K2 System you are using.
NOTE: If you import to a file or stream media that has the same name as an asset
already existing in the destination location, an Abort/Rename/Retry dialog box
appears.
