File Properties

Selecting a file in Local View or Remote View and then selecting the Properties option (from the shortcut menu or the Operation menu) brings up the File Properties dialog which allows you to view and change some of the file's properties.

Figure : Properties page for a file.

• File Name

  At the top of the page the file name and icon are shown. If multiple files are selected, a count of the number of files and folders is displayed.

• Type

  The type of the selected file(s).

• Location

  The directory where the selected file(s) are located on the remote host.

• Size

  The size of the selected file. If multiple files are selected the total size of all the files is diplayed.

• Modified Date

  The last modified date for the selected file.

• Permissions

  The Permissions check boxes are displayed for files residing in a UNIX system. The 9 check boxes can be used to set the permissions of a file or a group of files. If multiple files are selected with conflicting permissions then some of the check boxes will appear grayed out. Clicking on a greyed out check box will clear the check mark. If there are any check boxes are grayed out when the OK button is pressed it will have the effect of leaving that value unchanged on the remote file.

  Permissions can also be set by entering standard octal UNIX permissions (as with the UNIX chmod command) in the Permission mode field. Values entered here override and update the check box values.

  For more information on file permissions, see section Contents of the File Transfer Window.

• Attributes

  The Attributes check boxes are displayed for files residing in a Windows system. The 5 check boxes (Read-only, Hidden, Archive, System and Compressed) can be used to set the attributes of a local file or a local group of files. If multiple files are selected with conflicting permissions, then some of the check boxes will appear grayed out. Clicking on a greyed out check box will clear the check mark. If there are any check boxes are grayed out when the OK button is pressed, it will have the effect of leaving that value unchanged on the remote file.

  Note: Due to the limitations of the Windows architecture, it is not possible to set the Windows file attributes for remote files residing on a Windows server.

  For more information on file attributes, see section Contents of the File Transfer Window.
