. . . Navigating through drives and folders
103
Follow these guidelines to navigate through the left side of a
File Transfer window:
•
Double-click a drive or folder
Opens and expands
the drive or folder, displaying its subfolders immediately
below. (Double-clicking is the fastest way to navigate
downward in a hierarchy of folders.)
•
Click a drive or folder
Opens the drive or folder with-
out expanding it.
•
Click a plus sign (+)
Expands the drive or folder, dis-
playing its subfolders immediately below. The drive or
folder is not opened.
•
Click a minus sign (-)
Collapses the drive or folder,
hiding its subfolders.
TIP
Want to locate a particular folder or file? Type the first
letter of its name. The highlight moves to the next item
beginning with that letter. Typing the letter again finds the
next occurrence.
Changing the view
When you open a drive or folder, you see its contents—sub-
folders and files—on the right side of the File Transfer win-
dow.
By default, the contents appear in Detail view: file name,
size, type (based on the MS-DOS name extension), modifi-
cation date, and attributes.
To change the appearance of the items displayed on
the right side of a File Transfer window:
• On the View menu, click one of these commands:
Large Icons, Small Icons, or List.
Try the different views to find your preference. To return to
the original view, click Detail.
Sorting files and folders
Regardless of the view, you can rearrange the folders and
files on the right side of a File Transfer window according to
name, size, date, and so on.
To change the order of files and folders:
• On the View menu, point to Arrange Icons; then click
one of these commands: By Name, By Type, By Size,
By Date, or By Attributes.
TIP
If you are displaying files in Detail view, you can sort
them by name, size, type (file name extension), modifica-
tion date, or attribute: click the corresponding button at the
top of a column. Clicking the same button again reverses
the order.
