Creating and Editing FTP Directory Profiles on Interplay Transfer

Client

When a workgroup includes an FTP server, you need to create FTP directory profiles on the

Interplay Transfer client that allows the FTP server to connect with the Avid editing system.

The FTP Directory Profile must contain the same connection information as the Avid

Interplay Transfer Engine Configuration settings.

The Avid FTP Media Browser application is used for ingest from FTP servers.

To create and edit FTP directory profiles:

1. From the Avid editing system, click the Start button, and then select All Programs >

Avid > Utilities > Avid FTP Media Browser.

The Avid - FTP Media Browser application opens.

When K2 media displays in the Avid - FTP Media Browser window the file extension .mxf

does not display in the list. Also the Size column uses fields instead of MB.
