I don't ever use this but was playing around transfering 1 wave to computer and it fails. I enter utility mode,FTP etc. It starts to transfer the wave then stops and goes to "enable ftp". On the HD24 for some reason it illuminates the "Auto, rec,play,rtn" lights. :eek: There then is a transfer error message on my pc.Now I always use fireport or real time with my 2408mkIII. I have done ftp transfers in the past and all worked fine. If I need to update from Alessis,how do I do this. Ethernet wire directly into HD24? Off computer and save to CD? Then how into HD24. Oh, and Bear and Trackrat are 100% right. Get the firewire or motu. It saves SSSOOOOOO much time it's crazy! 30 minutes compared to 2 minutes.
Thanks, Jim :confused:

I've transferred over 80GB of audio from my HD24 via ethernet in the past week. It works fine. I recommend making sure that the source and target of your FTP are on the same LAN segment for best results. I have in the past seen problems when there was a switch in between the two, so there may be a compatibility issue there.

I don't generally use the ethernet connection since getting the Firewire, but prior to that I certainly used it frequently without a problem... The HD24 needs its own dedicated IP number on your network, and you can FTP to/from it via FTP software or by setting up a "network drive" in Windows Explorer.

If you're having issues - it's not likely to be the fault of the HD24 though.... maybe a poor ethernet cable or some other network/routing glitch with your computer (if you use a firewall, you need to add the HD24 IP as a trusted address)....
 
I have used the ftp before and have not changed anything since then. I just wanted to edit one track and send it back and mix on my console. As I said I have fireport amd Motu mk III. Both are my normal method of transfering files. I'm realy just playing but it bugs me it wont work presently when I used to do this all the time. It goes into transfer mode with the message that it is transfering on the HD24,the quickly goes to a funky red lettered rec,rtn,ply. :confused: on the HD24
 
Weird... do you have some sort of network transfer timeout going on? Firewall??
