- Upload — Upload a local file or directory to the current path

- Download — Download a file or directory to your local device
- File Split Download — Download files in split blocks (the directory does not have this right-click menu)
- Compress – Compress files or directories in tar.gz format (if the current file name ends in tar.gz, the right-click menu is “Extract”)
Drag and drop to upload and download
You can drag files or folders from the system desktop or Explorer to the current list window for uploading. You can drag and drop only one file or folder at a time, or you can drag multiple files or folders at once. The file list supports Ctrl and Shift mouse operations to select multiple files or directories, which can be dragged outside the window program for downloading. The following picture is an example of multiple selections:
Upload/download tasks
When uploading/downloading and splitting uploading/downloading, a task button for uploading/downloading will be displayed on the right side of the top function button bar. Clicking it will pop up a transfer task window.
On the right side of the title bar in the pop-up transfer task window, you can click the “Trash can” button to clear the tasks in the list that have been completed, manually stopped, or have transmission anomalies that prevent them from continuing.
In the pop-up transfer task window, the transfer tasks are displayed in a list form. Each transmission task displays the following information:
- Display the transmission type in icon form. The types are divided into: upload, download, split file upload, split file download
- The name of the file or directory being transferred
- Transmission progress
The “Show” button on the right side of the transfer task, when clicked, will display a detailed window of the transfer task. The following picture shows the detailed information of the split file download.
In the detailed window of the transmission task, you can track the transmission status, whether the transmission is completed, whether the transmission has failed, and the percentage of the transmission progress. You can also manually stop the ongoing transmission task.
