items can be selected by holding down the Ctrl key then clicking on them.
8. When you have selected the file(s) or directories to be transferred, place the
mouse pointer on a selected item, hold down the left mouse button and drag the
pointer across to the opposite directory list box so that it rests on the icon or file
contents of the destination directory, then release the mouse button.
The Confirm Copy Files dialog box will be displayed. The From box displays
the name and location of the file or directory to be transferred. The To box shows
the name that the transferred file or directory will have at the destination. By
default this is the same as the source, but you can change the name here.
