Working with remote files is very similar to working with those stored locally. You can hold down Ctrl to select multiple files, and use the right-click menu to cut, copy, paste, create new folders and rename files. A few additional options are provided for advanced users, too.

Directly below the local and remote file panels is an activity log, which records file history during the current session. You can make it taller by dragging the frame upwards. If you're uploading or downloading a large number of files, select the Queue tab to get a progress update.

If you run a website and want to 'mirror' the files on your local computer with those on the remote one, select the Tools menu and choose 'Sync Directories'. This lets you compare file names and sizes, helping you to identify differences and ensure that your website uses exact copies of the content you have stored locally.

If you need to work with several folders, you might find it useful to set up a 'Home' directory, which ensures an FTP session starts at the local and remote locations you specify. Also use the 'Keep directories in sync' option, which ensures both directories follow each other as you move around.
