Launching FTP displays the PASSPORT FTP Client window. This window is similar in look and functionality to those in other Windows-based applications.
The top portion contains the typical Windows items: title bar, menus, and toolbar. Directly below these, the majority of the window area is divided into three horizontal sections. (These sections may be resized by placing the cursor directly on the horizontal line and then clicking and dragging.)
The first section is devoted to your local computer. This section is a replication of what you see in your Windows Explorer. On the left is the directory “tree” or hierarchy of drives and folders located on your PC. Clicking a drive or folder on the left side displays its contents to the right.
The second horizontal section is concerned with those areas of the host computer that you can access. Again, the host directory “tree” or hierarchy of folders appears on the left. Clicking a drive or folder on the left displays its contents to the right.
The third horizontal section displays the FTP log. When you connect to the host and send or receive files, a list of process activities appear here. These also appear in the Connection Log.
At the bottom of the PASSPORT FTP Client window is a status bar for providing information about the current activity, such as the status of the host connection or the size of the file being transferred.
Once the PASSPORT FTP Client window is displayed, you are ready to create host profiles and to start an FTP session.
