Re: Managing files in CuteFTP

The purpose of this tutorial is to teach you how to manage files and folders in CuteFTP. You should have CuteFTP running, and be connected to a remote server at this time. let's begin by creating a new folder in the remote server. There are two ways to create a new folder. In the icon menu at the top, click on the New Folder icon, that looks simply like a folder. This will give you a window called New Folder, with a box for you to type a name for the new folder. When you are done, click OK. The other way is to right click anywhere in the remote server window. This will bring up a menu, and you will select New Folder. Again, it will bring up the window for you to name the folder. To rename the folder, Right Click the folder, then from the menu, click on Rename. Type the new name in the highlighted box. The folder has now been renamed. Files can be renamed the same way as folders.

To delete a file or folder, first make sure it is highlighted. Then go to the icon menu and locate the big red X, over the remote server window. Click on this to delete. CuteFTP will ask you to confirm that you wish to delete, so click on the Yes button. That file or folder is now deleted. The next step is to learn how to change permissions. In the remote server window, you need to select the file for which you want to change permissions. Then from the Icon menu, find the Properties icon, which is a sheet of paper with a red check mark. Click on the Properties Icon. This opens the Properties window for the file you selected. To change permissions, simply enter the new permissions value in the box provided, or check off the appropriate permission boxes. When you are done, click Apply, then click OK. Your permission have now been changed. This ends this tutorial. You now know how to manage files and folders. You can create folders (directories), delete files and folders, change permissions and rename files and folders in CuteFTP.
