The file transfer operations between the local and remote host computers are displayed in the file transfer window Transfer View. Transfer View consists of the Transfer page and the Queue page. Click the appropriate tab at the top of Transfer View to view the pages.

Transfer Page

The Transfer page of the Transfer View displays a list of files that have been transferred between the computers. The page gives the following information on the transferred files:

The direction of the transfer is depicted with an arrow. Uploads are marked with an arrow pointing up, and downloads with an arrow pointing down.

Source File

The original name of the file in the source system.

Source Directory

The directory the file was transferred from.

Destination Directory

The directory the file was transferred to.

Size

The size of the file, expressed in bytes.

Status

The transfer status of the file. Files waiting for transfer to start are marked as Queued. The status of ongoing transfers is displayed as a progress bar. Successfully transferred files are marked as Complete. Files whose transfer operation has been cancelled are marked as Cancelled.

Errors that prevent the file transfer from completing are displayed in the status column as well. Files that cannot be transferred due to an error are marked with the Error tag.

Speed

The speed of the transfer operation, expressed in kilobytes per second (kB/s).

Time

During the transfer operation, this column displays the estimated time to complete the transfer. After the transfer has been completed, the actual time used for the transfer is displayed.

Transfer Shortcut Menu

Right-clicking the Transfer page opens a shortcut menu with the following options:

  • To stop transferring files, select the files that you do not want to have transferred, right-click the Transfer page and select Cancel.

  • To delete files from the queue, select the files that you do not want to keep in the Transfer page, right-click the Transfer page and select Remove.

The text file will contain the path and file names of the transferred files in both the remote and local system, and the file size, separated by commas. This option can be used to maintain a log of your file transfers.

Queue Page

The Queue page of Transfer View can be used to create a customized list of files that are to be transferred at a later stage. You can use the mouse to drag and drop files on the Queue page, where they wait to be transferred.
