Defining Favorites

On the Remote Favorites and Local Favorites pages of the Settings dialog you can create a list of commonly used directories. These favorites can then be easily selected from a drop-down menu in the file transfer window.

Remote Favorites

Figure : Creating a list of most commonly used directories

Favorite Folders

This list contains the favorite folders you have defined for the current connection profile. You can add, remove, and sort the favorites by using the New, Delete, Up, and Down icons displayed above the list.

If you are defining a remote favorite that is located on a Windows Secure Shell server, the folder on the Windows server must be specified as follows:

/drive:/folder/subfolder/

A valid favorite folder definition would be for example /C:/WINNT/Profiles/username/.

Home Folder

In the Home Folder field you can type the directory where any new connections associated with this profile will start. If you leave the field empty, new connections will use the remote home folder that has been specified for your user account on the remote host computer.

Local Favorites

On the Local Favorites page of the Settings dialog you can create a list of commonly used directories on your local computer. These favorites can then be easily selected from a drop-down menu in the File Transfer window.
