To 

Copy 

a file or folder from the FireWriter to the computer (or vice – versa), select the file with the 

mouse and click 

Copy File 

or 

Copy Folder. 

You do not have to select a destination because it is 

automatically determined. To delete a file, select it with the mouse and click 

Delete.

 To refresh the 

directory structure click on 

Refresh.

 You will find that this level is the most convenient for day to day file 

backup and transfer.  
 

All Files 

transfer mode: At this level you will see all files and directories on both the FireWriter CG and 

the computer. As a result, it is possible to copy FireWriter CG to and from any directory or drive on your 
computer. In All Files mode you will have to select a source file and destination directory for each file or 
directory you wish to copy; the destination is not automatically determined.  
 

 

Auto Rename of Graphic files 

A unique feature of the FireWriter Remote program is that in 

All Files

 transfer mode the program 

automatically renames a selected JPEG graphic file located on the computer to whatever the name is of the 
selected FireWriter CG destination file.  
 

For example:

 If I want to copy a JPEG file from the PC to the FireWriter Background folder I select All 

Files in the program and on the computer select a JPEG graphic file named Town Hall.JPG.  I then select 
VID03.BGD in the FireWriter CG BKGND (background) directory and click on 

Copy File

. The program 

will automatically make a copy of the JPG graphic file, rename it to VID03.BGD and copy the file to the 
FireWriter CG. This is also true when copying JPG graphic files to the Bug folder in FireWriter. 
 

Note: 

Auto Rename only works in the 

All Files 

transfer mode and not in 

FireWriter 

transfer mode.
