Far superior to a batch file, it validates and verifies all destinations before starting the file transfer process. To follow are discussions about the screens that you are likely to encounter, and a brief explanation of how to respond to them.

Using your left, right, home and end keys you can navigate within the field you are editing. Using your up and down keys (or a mouse, if installed) you can navigate between the fields. Accept your choice for each field by pressing enter. If you wish to abort the installation, press escape. Pressing enter on the last field accepts the fields as entered and continues with the installation. The directory that you enter must be in the form of a Drive, path and filename - just like the examples shown above. If your entered path is invalid, or if the drive that you specified does not exist, you will be shown the following message: ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │The destination path you have entered is either invalid or │ │the disk drive indicated does not exist. The path must │ │include both a drive and a directory.
