Ok having issues ftping into the hmc DVD. Most likely it is closed off by the firewall. I'm having the network guys look into it and open up the connection.
In the meantime, I have been playing around with the "enable FTP access to mass storage media" in the hmc. To be clear, I understand that this opens an FTP session to the hmc DVD Tom drive to the FTP IP address I specify. Correct? If that is so, when it pops up to select Media Device (on hmc), why does it say DVD-RAM Drive (no label found)? Should it not say DVD ROM Drive ? Is the RAM drive a different drive? Or are they one in the same? Thanks.
