Large Icons

Select the Large Icons option to display the file view as a Large Icons view. Each file and folder has a large icon associated with it, resulting in a clear and uncluttered display.

If the Large Icons option is selected, a selection marker appears next to the menu option.

Small Icons

Select the Small Icons option to display the file view as a Small Icons view. Each file and folder has a small icon associated with it. This makes it possible to display several times more items than the Large Icons view.

If the Small Icons option is selected, a selection marker appears next to the menu option.

List

Select the List option to display the file view as a List view. Each file and folder has a small icon associated with it, and the files and folders are displayed in one column.

If the List option is selected, a selection marker appears next to the menu option.

Details

Select the Details option to display the file view as a Details view. The files and folders are displayed with a small icon, their file name, file size, file type, last modification date, and attributes visible.

By clicking on the Name, Size, Type, Modified or Attributes sort bars located at the top of the folder view, you can sort the files and folders based on their file name, file size, file type, the time they were last modified and their file attributes. Selecting the same sort option again reverses the sorting order.

Note that the sort function is not case-sensitive: uppercase text is sorted together with lowercase text.

The file types are derived from the your local computer. If you have defined a new file type description for files with a certain file name extension, also the files in the remote computer are shown to be of that file type. This makes it easy to recognize particular file types also on the host computer.

Arrange Icons

Select the Arrange Icons option to open a submenu where you can select the order in which the files and folders are displayed in the file view. A selection marker appears next to the currently selected Arrange Icons option.

By Name: The files and folders are arranged alphabetically based on their file name.

By Type: The files and folders are arranged alphabetically based on their file type.

By Size: The files are arranged by their file size. Folders are arranged alphabetically.

By Date: The files and folders are arranged by the time they were last modified.

If you have selected the Details view, you can get the same effect by clicking on the Name, Size, Type and Modified sort bars located at the top of the folder view. Selecting the same Arrange Icons option again reverses the sorting order.

Note that the sort function is not case-sensitive: uppercase text is sorted together with lowercase text.

Show Root Directory

Select the Show Root Directory option to toggle if the root directory is displayed in the folder view. If the root directory is not displayed, you are not able to select or view any folders above your home directory in the directory tree hierarchy. By default the root directory is not displayed.

If the Show Root Directory option is selected, a selection marker appears next to the menu option.

Show Hidden Files

Select the Show Hidden Files option to select that the normally hidden files are displayed in the folder view.

By default, Unix hosts do not display any files or directories that begin with the dot (.) character, such as .rhosts or .profile. Selecting the Show Hidden Files option corresponds to specifying the -a switch of the ls command.

If the Show Hidden Files option is selected, a selection marker appears next to the Show Hidden Files menu option.

Refresh

Select the Refresh option to update the file transfer window. This may be necessary for example when a file you have uploaded does not immediately become visible on the remote host computer.

The keyboard shortcut for Refresh is F5.
