The FTP Browser consists mainly of four panes. The top left pane displays the directory tree for the local system. The top right pane displays the directory tree on the remote system (FTP server). The panes directly below these (to the left and right) display the contents of the active/selected folder in each respective directory tree. The bottom pane displays the progress for active transfers.

The following controls are included in the browser:

Disconnect button terminates the active connection to the selected account's server

Parent folder button changes active directory to current directory's parent folder
Refresh button refreshes file listing in top and bottom panes
Local folder path field reflects current directory. User may type an existing path and press ENTER to change directories, or use dropdown to select a file path from the typed path history
Browse button opens standard Windows open dialog so user may select new directory
Local filter allows user to specify local folder/file filter for the bottom pane of the local file view using a standard DOS filter. The dropdown provides access to the typed filter history
Remote explorer pane controls
Home folder button changes to the default initial directory or the FTP user's home directory on the server
Parent folder button changes active directory to current directory's parent folder

You can select multiple files/folders using CTRL+mouse click or CTRL+SHIFT+mouse click and moved between the local and remote systems via drag and drop. With a directory (or multiple directories) selected, you can drag and drop them onto a folder in the top or bottom pane of the remote explorer to upload them to the desired folder.
