File Transfer Status Bar

The status bar is located at the bottom of the File Transfer window. When browsing through the menu options or toolbar buttons, the status bar displays a short context sensitive help text on the currently active user interface element (such as toolbar button or menu item).

When the menus or toolbars are not browsed, the left side of the status bar displays the current remote host computer (server) and the current directory on the remote host.

The next status bar field shows the current protocol version, encryption algorithm, and MAC algorithm separated by dashes (for example: ssh2 - 3des-cbc - hmac-md5). Note that the status bar displays some of the algorithm names in a longer form than the Connection screen of the Settings dialog.

The next field of the File Transfer status bar displays the number of files and subfolders in the current folder, as well as the total size of the files. If you select file(s) in the folder view, the field changes to display the number and total file size of the current selection. This is especially useful when estimating the amount of total data to be transferred.

If you are connecting through a firewall, the next field of the status bar displays a firewall icon when the firewall is in use. Click the firewall field to open the Firewall page of the Settings dialog. For more information, see the section Firewall.

The next field displays the SSH Accession icon. If SSH Accession is running, the icon is displayed normally, otherwise it is grayed out. Click the SSH Accession field to open the SSH Accession page of the Settings dialog. For more information, see the section SSH Accession.

If you have a smart card reader active, you should see a small card reader icon in the last field of the status bar. When a token is inserted, a smart card appears in the card reader in the icon. When a key is acquired from the token, a key symbol appears on top of the card reader icon. Click the smart card reader field to open the PKCS 11 page of the Settings dialog. For more information, see section PKCS 11. If the smart card reader icon does not appear, see section PKCS 11 Provider for troubleshooting information.
