NOTE
t
Only clips that include audio and video of the main recording can be written back to the P2 card from the FTP server. Only proxy recording clips
cannot be written back to the P2 card from the FTP server. (An error message [UNKNOWN CONTENTS FORMAT!] is displayed).
t
Writing back only proxy clips can be performed to an SD memory card.
Refer to “Writing back from an FTP server to an SD memory card (import)” (page 241) for the writing back procedure.
You cannot use only proxy recording clips that do not include video and audio of the main recording for normal usage such as playback and metadata
editing.
t
Depending on the number of clips on the server and network conditions, it may take some time to display thumbnails or to copy them.
t
To cancel the copy process, use the cursor buttons to place the cursor on [CANCEL] and press the <SET> button. On the [CANCEL] confirmation
message that appears, select [YES] and press the <SET> button. Clips copied halfway to the copy destination are deleted.
t
After copying starts, disconnection errors will no longer be detected. Cancel the copy operation if the copying progress has stalled.
t
Clips cannot be copied to the copy destination P2 card folder that contains more than 1000 clips.
t
To transfer clips using SSH, the FTP server must support SSH.
t
Using SSH will reduce the transfer speed.
t
After an error has occurred during an operation such as copying, the FTP server may be disconnected and the operation can no longer be continued.
In this case, return to the FTP explorer screen, display the FTP thumbnail screen again, and then restart the copying or another operation.
Transferring from an SD memory card to an FTP server (export)
You can collectively transfer the data in an SD memory card to the FTP server.

Select the transfer destination folder using the jog dial button (or the cursor buttons (
`
/
{
)).
Press the <SET> button while pressing the <SHIFT> button (<MULTI SEL>) to create a new folder in the current folder list. Numbers that indicate
date and time are automatically entered as the name of the new folder. You can also use the software keyboard to set the folder name. However,
some characters cannot be used depending on the FTP server. You cannot set a folder name that is same as an existing folder.

NOTE
t
You cannot select clips to be exported.
t
Folder names using multi-byte characters are not displayed correctly.
t
Depending on factors such as the number of files, file sizes, and network conditions, exporting may take time.
t
To discontinue the export process, press the <SET> button. On the [CANCEL] confirmation message that appears, select [YES] and press the
<SET> button. If the network has not been disconnected, the partially exported files remaining on the FTP server are deleted. If the network has been
disconnected, incomplete files may remain on the FTP server.
t
After exporting starts, disconnection errors will no longer be detected. Cancel the export operation if the copying progress has stalled.
t
Contact your FTP server administrator for the amount of free space on the FTP server in advance, as it cannot be checked automatically before
exporting starts.
t
Whether an error is generated when the remaining capacity of the FTP server reaches 0 depends on the FTP server. If an error is not generated,
cancel the export operation.
t
If existing folders are selected and files that have the same path names as data in the SD memory card are included in the selected folders, the files
are overwritten. However, if the path names are the same but the types differ (folder and file), an error is generated.
t
To prevent unintended overwriting, create new folders to export data whenever possible.
t
To transfer clips using SSH, the FTP server must support SSH.
t
Using SSH will reduce the transfer speed.
