Using FTP:
Before using FTP, make a note of the IP address of your iCC. If you do not know the IP address, consult the person who
administers your network or reboot the iCC: it displays its IP address during the process.
Note: You need to have the FTP Read/Write permission on the iCC to upload using FTP. FTP may also be disabled on
your network for security reasons. If you have difficulty using FTP, check with the person who administers your iCC or
network.
You can upload using a dedicated FTP program. A quick alternative is to use Windows Explorer (or similar file-management
program):
1. Open two copies of Windows Explorer.
2. In the first copy, navigate to the folder with the content you want to upload.
3. In the second copy, type ftp:// and the IP address of your iCC in the address bar (for example, ftp://192.168.0.254) and
press the Enter key.
4. When prompted, enter your iCC username and password. Windows Explorer now displays your default iCC folder location.
5. Navigate to the Media folder. Do not add or modify files in any other folder as this may render the iCC unusable.
6. As required, create further folders under the Media folder. It is good practice to create separate folders for each layout and
sub-folders for each zone (for example, media/Layout_reception/Zone_A).
7. To upload content to the iCC, drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste folders and files from the first copy of Windows Explorer to
the second copy of Windows Explorer.
Note: If the FTP page does not refresh, press the F5 key or click Refresh to update it.
When you have connected Windows Explorer to your iCC with FTP, you can also:
