Introduction

Thank you for trying BreeseFTP, we hope that you find it easy to use, simple 
enough to understand, and powerful enough to be useful.  This program is written 
to provide enough features to be a useful program, but not the extraneous 
features that make a program confusing and bulky.  We hope you feel the same. If 
you would like more information, please go to the web site listed above.

Installation

How to use BreeseFTP


Connect to New Server

To connect to a server, after opening the program, select "File > New".  A login 
dialog box will then appear.  You need to enter (at a bare minimum) the hostname 
(i.e. ftp.microsoft.com).  You have the options to enter a username / password, 
a default remote directory, a default local directory, and a Profile name.  You 
can save as many profiles as you wish, and can organize them like you would any 
other document file.

If you do not select "Connect on Open", you will need to click the "Connect" 
toolbar button, or select "File > Connect to Server", to actually connect and 
logon to the FTP server.  Otherwise, you will be connected right away.


Connect to a Saved Profile

To connect to a saved file, just open the profile like you would every other 
document, select "File > Open".  If you selected "Connect on Open" you will be 
logged on to the server right away, otherwise you will need to follow the same 
procedure listed above.


Edit a Profile

You can edit a profile while it is open ("File > Open") by clicking the "Edit" 
toolbar button or selected "File > Edit Profile".

You will need to save your changes before you close the file, or your changes 
will be lost.


Change Directories

You can change directories by either "double clicking" the directory name in the 
tree view or the list view.  You can also click the "Change Directory" toolbar 
button, or select "Session > Change Directory".  If you do not have a directory 
selected, you will be prompted for one.

If you want to change to the root directory, click the "/" toolbar button, 
select the appropriate menu item, or context menu.

If you want to change to the parent directory, click the ".." toolbar button, 
select the appropriate menu item, or context menu.

If you want to change to the home directory, click the "Home" toolbar button, 
select the appropriate menu item, or context menu.


Download a File / Multiple Files / Directories

To download a file, highlight it, and click the "Download" toolbar button, 
select "Session > Download" or use the context (right click) menu.

To download multiple files, select multiple files.

To download directories, highlight the directory.

You can download in any combination of the above.  After you start the download, 
you will be prompted for the directory in which to save the files / directories.  
You will see a progress indicator that lists not only the progress on the 
current file, but also the progress on the total transmission.


Upload a File / Multiple Files / Directories

To upload a file, click the "Upload" toolbar button, select "Session > Upload 
Files", or use the context (right click) menu.  Select the file(s) you want to 
upload.  To select multiple files, hold down the CTRL key while clicking the 
files you want.  They will be uploaded to the current directory of the server.

To upload a file, select "Session > Upload Directory".  The contents of this 
directory, along will all sub-directories will be included in the transfer.  You
can also drag files into the window from explorer and upload to the current 
directory.

You will see the same progress indicators you will see with downloads.


View Files

To view the contents of a text file, right click the file and use the context 
menu to select "View".  The file will download and be displayed in the text 
viewer of your choice.


Delete Files

To delete a file, select the file and click the "Delete" toolbar button, select 
"Session > Delete", or use the appropriate context menu item.

Rename Files

The easiest way to rename a file is to highlight the file and click it, or hit 
F2.  This is the same mechanism Windows Explorer uses to rename files.  

Alternatively, you can also select "Session > Rename File" to enter the full 
pathname of the original file, and the new name.

You can rename directories using a similar mechanism.


Create and Manipulate Directories

You can create a directory using the "Session > Make Directory" command, the 
"New Directory" toolbar button, or the context menu (right click) and select 
"Make Directory" menu item.

Renaming Directories is done in the same way as renaming a file.

Removing a directory follows the same logic as creating a directory, only you 
use the "Remove Directory" commands.  The directory must be empty before you can 
remove it.


Disconnect from a Server

To disconnect from a server, you can either click the "Disconnect" toolbar 
button or select "File > Close Connection".

If you exit the program, you will also be disconnected.
