are automatically set up when you install K2 software version 3.2 or higher. Do not restrict access
for these accounts. If your security policy requires restricting access to these accounts, contact Grass
Valley Support.
On a K2 SAN, authentication takes place on the K2 Media Server. Setting up FTP security for
specific local users and groups is not supported on a K2 SAN, with the exception of the local movie
and mxfmovie accounts. However, you can set up FTP security for domain users and groups.
About FTP internationalization
The K2 FTP interface supports clip and bin names in non-English locales (international languages)
as follows:
• Non-ASCII localized characters represented as UTF-8 characters.
• All FTP client/server commands are in ASCII.
• The named movie asset is Unicode 16-bit characters
• The K2 FTP client converts between Unicode and UTF-8 strings explicitly.
Also refer to “Internationalization” on page 210.
The Microsoft FTP client does not convert from a Unicode string to a UTF-8 string. Instead, it passes
the Unicode string to the FTP server directly, which can cause errors. To avoid these errors, in the
FTP command, every reference to the clip path must be in UTF-8.
A specific language setting is required on the computer that hosts the K2 FTP interface. This
requirement applies to a K2 Media Server, K2 Solo Media Server, and a stand-alone K2 client, as
they all host the K2 FTP interface.
