The basics of using FTP-Go

The FTP-Go display

The FTP-Go is built to be intuitive to use. The display is divided into two sections. The left side is a local file chooser while the right side is a remote file chooser.

Connecting with a listed site

If a site has been already defined via the site management options then it will appear in the "Lookin" combo-box list and can be clicked on to establish connection. If you want to connect to a site on a one-off basis then you can click the "Unlisted site" item to bring up a dialog to enter the site details.

Switching between sites and disconnection

If you are connected to one site then clicking on another cause immediate disconnection and reconnection to the new site. Clicked on the "Disconnected" option will cause disconnection only.

Directory navigation

To open a directory double click it. To move up to a higher directory either use the button or open the combo-box and select the desired directory.

Deleting remote directories

Remote directories can only be deleted if they are empty and FTP-Go will show an error message if you try to delete a directory that has contents.

Anonymous FTP

When using anaonymous FTP the convention is to use a username of "anonymous" and a password that is your email address. FTP-Go looks for the "anonymous" username and disables such functions as uploading.

File transfer restart

This feature has not been included in this version of FTP-Go. It may be in later versions if it is a requested feature.
