Downloading Files

By using the File Transfer window it is easy to download files from the remote host computer into your local computer. There are several different ways to download a file - or several files at the same time.

To select multiple files, hold down the Shift or Control keys when selecting files with the mouse. If you hold down the Shift key, all the files and folders between the first and last selection will be selected. If you hold down the Control key, you can select individual files and folders one by one.

  • Drag and drop

    Dragging and dropping is probably the easiest way to download files. Simply click on the file(s) you want to download, hold down the mouse button and move the file to a location where you want it - for example on the Windows desktop - and release the button.

  • Download button

    You can click the Download button on the toolbar to download the selected file(s).

  • Shortcut menu

    When you right-click on a file in Remote View, a shortcut menu appears. Select the Download or Download Dialog option from the menu.

If you have selected the Download Dialog option, a Download - Select Folder dialog will appear, allowing you to select where the downloaded file(s) should be saved. After you have selected the appropriate folder (or other location), Transfer View shows the current downloading status.
