File Transfer interface

Using the toolbar Hotkeys Using drag-and-drop Selecting files and folders Related topics

The File Transfer window (illustration)
interface is mirrored in two panes. The left pane shows the local computer’s files and the right pane shows the remote computer’s files. You can navigate freely inside either pane to find files and folders:

Using the toolbar

•    ‘Current path’

  This dropdown box has two functions: it contains paths for the last 12 directories visited and lets you display any of these directories by clicking on its path. Second, you can enter any valid path and when you press the <Enter> key the contents at that location will display.

•   ’Up’

  Shows the content of any parent folder.

•   ’Copy’

  Copies selected files and/or folders from one pane to another.

•    ‘Delete’

  Deletes selected files and folders.

  Since this button can delete important files on both local and remote computers, it should be used with maximum caution. Files deleted by Radmin Viewer cannot be recovered from the system ‘recycle bin’.

•   ’Create Directory’

  Creates a new directory.

•   ’Icons View Mode’

  Allows the user to select any of four different icons view modes:

  • Large icons

    All files and folders appear as large (32 x 32 pixils) icons with their names as labels.

  • Small icons

    All files and folders appear as small (16 x 16 pixils) icons with their names as labels.

  • List

    All files and folders appear as small (16 x 16 pixils) icons with their names as labels, organized vertically.

  • Details
