- enough to understand, and powerful enough to be useful. This program is written
- to provide enough features to be a useful program, but not the extraneous
- features that make a program confusing and bulky. We hope you feel the same. If
- you would like more information, please go to the web site listed above.

- How to use BreeseFTP
-
-
- Connect to New Server
-
- To connect to a server, after opening the program, select "File > New". A login
- dialog box will then appear. You need to enter (at a bare minimum) the hostname
- (i.e. ftp.microsoft.com). You have the options to enter a username / password,
- a default remote directory, a default local directory, and a Profile name. You
- can save as many profiles as you wish, and can organize them like you would any
- other document file.
-
- If you do not select "Connect on Open", you will need to click the "Connect"
- toolbar button, or select "File > Connect to Server", to actually connect and
- logon to the FTP server. Otherwise, you will be connected right away.
-
-
- Connect to a Saved Profile
-
- To connect to a saved file, just open the profile like you would every other
- document, select "File > Open". If you selected "Connect on Open" you will be
- logged on to the server right away, otherwise you will need to follow the same
- procedure listed above.
-
-
- Edit a Profile
-
- You can edit a profile while it is open ("File > Open") by clicking the "Edit"
- toolbar button or selected "File > Edit Profile".
-
- You will need to save your changes before you close the file, or your changes
- will be lost.
-
-
- Change Directories
-
- You can change directories by either "double clicking" the directory name in the
- tree view or the list view. You can also click the "Change Directory" toolbar
- button, or select "Session > Change Directory". If you do not have a directory
- selected, you will be prompted for one.
-
- If you want to change to the root directory, click the "/" toolbar button,
- select the appropriate menu item, or context menu.
-
- If you want to change to the parent directory, click the ".." toolbar button,
- select the appropriate menu item, or context menu.
-
- If you want to change to the home directory, click the "Home" toolbar button,
- select the appropriate menu item, or context menu.
-
-
- Download a File / Multiple Files / Directories
-
- To download a file, highlight it, and click the "Download" toolbar button,
- select "Session > Download" or use the context (right click) menu.
-
- To download multiple files, select multiple files.
-
- To download directories, highlight the directory.
-
- You can download in any combination of the above. After you start the download,
- you will be prompted for the directory in which to save the files / directories.
- You will see a progress indicator that lists not only the progress on the
- current file, but also the progress on the total transmission.
-
-
- Upload a File / Multiple Files / Directories
-
- To upload a file, click the "Upload" toolbar button, select "Session > Upload
- Files", or use the context (right click) menu. Select the file(s) you want to
- upload. To select multiple files, hold down the CTRL key while clicking the
- files you want. They will be uploaded to the current directory of the server.
-
- To upload a file, select "Session > Upload Directory". The contents of this
- directory, along will all sub-directories will be included in the transfer. You
- can also drag files into the window from explorer and upload to the current
- directory.
-
- You will see the same progress indicators you will see with downloads.
-
-
- View Files
-
- To view the contents of a text file, right click the file and use the context
- menu to select "View". The file will download and be displayed in the text
- viewer of your choice.
-
-
- Delete Files
-
- To delete a file, select the file and click the "Delete" toolbar button, select
- "Session > Delete", or use the appropriate context menu item.
-
- Rename Files
-
- The easiest way to rename a file is to highlight the file and click it, or hit
- F2. This is the same mechanism Windows Explorer uses to rename files.
-
- Alternatively, you can also select "Session > Rename File" to enter the full
- pathname of the original file, and the new name.
-
- You can rename directories using a similar mechanism.
-
-
- Create and Manipulate Directories
-
- You can create a directory using the "Session > Make Directory" command, the
- "New Directory" toolbar button, or the context menu (right click) and select
- "Make Directory" menu item.
-
- Renaming Directories is done in the same way as renaming a file.
-
- Removing a directory follows the same logic as creating a directory, only you
- use the "Remove Directory" commands. The directory must be empty before you can
- remove it.
-
-
- Disconnect from a Server
-
- To disconnect from a server, you can either click the "Disconnect" toolbar
- button or select "File > Close Connection".
-
- If you exit the program, you will also be disconnected.
