FTP with FTP Explorer

Step 4 - Uploading Files
To start uploading files, click on the "Upload" icon . A pop-up window opens displaying the files on your computer. You can navigate to the file you want to upload and click on the OK button to start the transfer process.

To upload multiple files, use the SHIFT key or the CONTROL key.
Files can be of two types - Binary and ASCII. FTP Explorer will automatically determine the type of file in use and use the appropriate transfer type.

Step 5 - Managing files on the server
To delete, rename or download files from the server, right-click on the file name in the right window and select the action from the pop-up menu.

Closing the connection

Directory refresh and Listing
The icon refreshes the contents of the directory while icons let you change the listing type for the directory.

Chmoding
