Receiving Files

Once you are connected to the host computer (see Starting an FTP Session), you are ready to transfer files from the host to your local computer.

To Receive Files:

  1. Locate and select a directory on your PC as the destination for the item(s) you want to transfer from the host.

  2. Locate and select from the host directory the item(s) you want to transfer to your PC.

  3. Choose the Transfer>Receive menu command or click the Receive button on the toolbar. You can track the progress of the transfer in the FTP Log section of the window.

    Note: Any difference noted between the size of the file in its original location and its size in the new location is the result of different disk formatting protocols. If the file being transferred already exists on your PC, a dialog box warns you, allowing you to decide if you want to replace the old with the new.

  4. Continue to send and receive files until you are ready to disconnect from the host.

  5. To disconnect, choose the Communication>Disconnect menu command or click the Disconnect button on the toolbar.
