Appendix B, Sharing a network folder
Introduction
This appendix describes how to set up shared folders on a Windows or Mac
system so they can be used as destination folders for Monarch recordings and file
transfers.
Please note the following about creating shared folders:
• When specifying the path, all folders in the path must already exist. Monarch
will not create new folders.
• Blank spaces are not supported in the filename. Use underscores in place of
blank spaces. For example, enter Recording1_Stage1 instead of Recording1
Stage1 as the name for the file.
Recording or transferring to folders on a USB
or SD card
When recording or transferring to a USB device or SD card, enter the folder(s) on
the recording device to which you want to record, if applicable, followed by the
base name. For example, if you want to name your file “Recording1”, and save
the file in a folder named “Files” that is contained within another folder named
“Project” on the root directory, enter Project/Files/Recording1. If you want to
save the file in the media device's root directory, enter Recording1.
Recording or transferring to folders on a
network drive
This option allows you to record or transfer files to a shared folder on the
network. The method for entering the path and filename depends on the operating
system of the computer that contains the shared folder. For more information on
supported operating systems, see “Supported operating systems” on page 2.
On a Windows system
When recording or transferring to a shared folder that is on a Windows system on
the network, you must enter the IP address of the location on the network that
will receive the file, followed by the shared folder name, and then the base name
for the file in the following format:
//IP address/shared folder name/basename
For example, if you want to name your file “Recording1”, and send the file to a
shared folder named “Files” that is located on a network computer with an IP
address of “123.456.7.890”, enter //123.456.7.890/Files/Recording1.
¡ Important If the network destination has a firewall, it must be disabled in
order to send the file to the network location.
