Favorites

On the Favorites page of the Settings dialog you can create a list of commonly used directories. These favorites can then be easily selected from a drop-down menu in the File Transfer window.

Figure : Creating a list of most commonly used directories.

Favorite Folders

This list contains the favorite folders you have defined for the current connection profile. You can add, remove and sort the favorites by using the icons displayed above the list:

• New

  Click the New button to add a new favorite, and then type the path to the desired folder.

  If you are defining a remote favorite that is located on a Windows Secure Shell server, the folder on the Windows server must be specified as follows:

  /drive:/folder/subfolder/
  

  A valid favorite folder definition would be for example /C:/WINNT/Profiles/username/.

• Delete

  Select an already defined favorite from the list and then click the Delete button to remove it from the list.

• Up

  Select an already defined favorite from the list and then click the Up button to move it higher in the list.

• Down

  Select an already defined favorite from the list and then click the Down button to move it lower in the list.

Home Folder

In the Home Folder field you can type the directory where any new connections associated with this profile will start. If you leave the field empty, new connections will use the remote home folder that has been specified for your user account on the remote host computer.
