About pcAnywhere File Transfer
The pcAnywhere File Transfer window lets you quickly navigate to the files and
folders that you need, transfer files and folders to and from another computer,
and synchronize content. Files transfer in the background so that you can continue
to work or queue other files.
You must be in session to access the File Trasfer window. The first time that you
open the File Transfer window, it lists the files and folders under My Computer.
You can specify another initial file transfer location, as well as other file transfer
preferences, by editing the default preferences.
See “About file transfer preferences” on page 168.
In the File Transfer window, the left pane lists the files and folders on your
computer. The right pane lists the files and folders on the computer to which you
are connected. Located between the two panes is an action bar, which contains
shortcut buttons for commonly performed tasks.
Figure 7-1 shows the File Transfer window.
