. . . Using File Transfer—Overview
101
NOTE If you click the ‘Open File Transfer Window’ button
when no active connection has been established, you’ll be
creating a local-to-local file transfer connection.
• Two File Transfer windows appear: one for the remote
computer, one for your computer. Using these windows,
you can view all the files on any drive on both comput-
ers.
Step one: display the target
To use the drag-and-drop method of copying and moving
files, first find your target and make it visible on your screen.
A target is the drive or folder you want to transfer the files to.
To display the target:
1 Identify the target window: it may be the window for your
computer or the remote computer—whichever you want
to receive the files.
2 On the left side of the target window, double-click the target
drive.
3 Click the target folder. Its contents now appear on the right.
4 If you are looking for a subfolder, click the plus sign (+)
beside the folder containing the subfolder. Then click the
subfolder itself.
NOTE To determine which File Transfer window is which,
look for the computer name in the title bar, at the top of
each window. In the case of a local-to-local connection,
each window will show the same name, followed by a (1)
or (2).
Step two: select the files
In the opposite File Transfer window, select the files you’ll
be transferring to the target you just displayed.
To select the folders and files you want to transfer:
• On the right side of the window, click the folder or file
you want to transfer.
• To select more than one item, do either of the following:
• Hold down CTRL as you click each item.
• To select two or more items listed next to each other,
click the first item and press SHIFT while you click
the last item.
NOTE If you prefer, select a group of files or folders by
clicking at a right corner of the group and dragging to the
opposite corner to form a selection box.
Step three: drag and drop
Using the drag-and-drop method simplifies file transfers.
Keep in mind the difference between copying and moving:
Copying puts a copy of the files on the other computer, leav-
ing the originals where they were. Moving puts the files on
the other computer, deleting the originals.
To drag and drop the selected files:
• To copy the files, hold down CTRL and your left mouse
button as you drag them to the target folder.
• To move the files, hold down SHIFT and your left
mouse button as you drag them to the target folder.
TIP If you drag without using CTRL or SHIFT, files are
copied when you drag to a different drive or computer and
moved when you drag to another location on the same
drive.
