SIMPLEFTP
|
| SUMMARY SimpleFtp is a Windows application for uploading and downloading files from an Ftp server. INSTALLATION Download the zipped installation, expand both files to an empty folder and run the setup.exe from your hard disk. This application includes an automatic upgrade facility. To uninstall, use the Add/Remove Program facility in your Control Panel. The installation requires the Microsoft .NET Framework to be installed. In most cases you will already have this on your system. | ![]() |
USER GUIDE INTRODUCTION The SimpleFtp application provides the necessary functions for moving files between a computer and a remote FTP site, and at the same time being simple to operate. The picture below shows the SimpleFTP application main window. ![]() The left side of the screen shows files and folders on the local system, i.e. your computer. The right side shows files and folders on a remote FTP site, somewhere on the Internet. The active folder is displayed at the top of each list. To change the active folder, double-click on a folder in the list, or right-click and select Open from the context menu. When the application starts, the local home folder is displayed. This is a list of drives, comparable to the My Computer list in Windows explorer. When there is no connection to a remote FTP site, the "no connection" message is displayed. The four buttons down the centre of the window allow you to change the active folder for the local and remote systems, and upload and download files.

Right click a file to open the context menu. Context menu options include:
JOBS When SimpleFtp is instructed to upload, download or delete a file, these tasks are performed in the background as indiviudal "jobs". A list of jobs is displayed at the base of the main window. Because jobs are performed in the background the user can continue to move around the local and remote systems without having to wait for the job to finish. This is particularly useful if you are copying large files. Jobs are listed as pending, in-process, or complete. Completed jobs that fail appear in red. Once jobs are complete they are removed from the list after about 10 seconds. CONNECTIONS To create a new connection, select Connections, Add... from the main menu. In the Connection Details form enter the Ftp account details for an Ftp site. You will have received the username, password and address details from your internet service provider. The address can be an IP address or a website domain name. The optional local folder path is the local folder that will be the workspace for the remote site. When a connection is opened, SimpleFtp automatically switches to the local folder path. To connect, select Connection, Connect from the main menu. To disconnect, select Connection, Disconnect from the main menu, or close the application. HELP Under the help menu are shortcuts to the online help page for updated help information, and a shortcut to our Bug Report web where you can register bugs, critisisms and ideas for future development.
