I have an update. Okay, so after figuring the issue I am having is related to the issue with connecting to the fTP working properly. I was able to determine that I can import using 'Local' drop folder vs. FTP. I am still having a permission issue so that Kaltura can delete the file after it is copied. Here is the 'kaltlog' when using the drop folder on 'localhost'.

--I will try SFTP next and see if that works vs normal FTP. What are the proper permissions for the local drop folder suppose to be exactly. I changed them to kaltura:kaltura but I have not tested it.
