103
Follow these guidelines to navigate through the left side of a
File Transfer window:
• Double-click a drive or folder Opens and expands
the drive or folder, displaying its subfolders immediately
below. (Double-clicking is the fastest way to navigate
downward in a hierarchy of folders.)
• Click a drive or folder Opens the drive or folder with-
out expanding it.
• Click a plus sign (+) Expands the drive or folder, dis-
playing its subfolders immediately below. The drive or
folder is not opened.
• Click a minus sign (-) Collapses the drive or folder,
hiding its subfolders.
TIP Want to locate a particular folder or file? Type the first
letter of its name. The highlight moves to the next item
beginning with that letter. Typing the letter again finds the
next occurrence.
Changing the view
When you open a drive or folder, you see its contents—sub-
folders and files—on the right side of the File Transfer win-
dow.
By default, the contents appear in Detail view: file name,

To change the appearance of the items displayed on
the right side of a File Transfer window:

the original view, click Detail.

name, size, date, and so on.
To change the order of files and folders:
• On the View menu, point to Arrange Icons; then click
one of these commands: By Name, By Type, By Size,
By Date, or By Attributes.
