Applet

The Applet provides the ability to transfer multiple files quickly between the workstation and server using a split-page interface, with support for monitoring file transfer progress and the ability to resume any failed transfers.

The My Computer panel (on the left side of the page) displays the local files and folders on your workstation. The Secure Folders panel (on the right side) displays files and folders located on the server you are connected to. The Transfers panel (on the bottom) lists the files queued for transfer, the files that were transferred successfully and any transfers that failed.

The width of any column on the page can be changed by dragging a column left or right. Columns can moved by dragging the column headings to a new location. You can also sort columns or change the sort order by clicking the column headings.
