List View

The File Manager list view will display all files and folders present in the folder location.  By default, list view items will be displayed in Details view and sorted by Name.  The different operations that can be performed in the List view are explained below.

Selecting Files and Folders

When you want to perform operations with a file (copy, delete, or view it) you must select the file or folder.  There are multiple methods to select files in the list view.  You can select files using the mouse or the keyboard, similar to Windows Explorer. Here are a few ways of selecting items:

Selecting single list view item:

  • Left click on an item. 
  • When a List view item is selected then use the following keys for movement or selection:
    • Up or Down: Select previous or next item present in list view. 
    • Home or End: Selects the first or last item present in List view. 
    • Page Up or Page Down: Selects first or last item that is viewable in list view. 

Selecting multiple list view items:

  • Drag the mouse pointer over multiple files/folders. 
  • Click on a List view item, hold down the Shift key and click on the last [previous or next] list view to include in a group. 
  • Select a list view item and press Shift + Up or Down arrow. 
  • Hold down Ctrl and click each item. 
  • Press Ctrl + A to select all items in the list. 

Moving file and folders

Auto FTP Manager supports standard Windows drag, drop, cut, copy and paste file operations.  Drag and Drop is a common way of moving items to different location.  You can drag items from List view or a location from Windows explorer.  Dropping items is allowed in the File Manager list view and in the Transfer Queue.
