Uniform Media Locators (UML)
Uniform Media Locators are used for specifiying transfer source and destination locations.
The format for a UML is:
<host>/<type>/<filename>
Where:
<host> is the K2's host name or IP address (e.g. “K2-123”)
<type> is a file type (e.g. “explodedFile”, “gxfFile”, “mxfFile”, “movFile”, “aviFile”, “mpgFile”)
<filename> is the asset's fully pathed name including volume, bin, and asset(e.g. “V:/default/Clip” or “C:/temp/foo”). The filename may also be specified using a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path (e.g. "\\path-to-machine\folder\Clip")
Examples:
"K2-1/explodedFile/V:/default/Clip"
"K2-2/gxfFile/\\machine-foo\folder\Clip.gxf"
note the forward slash after the "gxfFile" string before the double-backslash of the UNC path!
