File and Directory Functions:

WS-FTP allows you to act on the files and directories of both the local (your computer, left side of the screen) and remote computer (CornerNet Web server, right side of the screen). Use the functions described below to add, modify and delete your files and directories.

Enter the name of the directory you wish to create.  RmDir : Deletes the highlighted directory. The directory must be empty for you to be able to delete it.  To change the directory to the previous directory, select .. and click [ChgDir].

3.Perform the file actions you want by clicking on one of the listed buttons:

Button : Action

View : Displays the contents of a highlighted text file. Exec : Executes the highlighted file.

Selecting the Transfer Type:

Files to be transferred are either text-only or binary. HTML files are text-only, while .gif and .jpg files are binary. WS-FTP gives you three choices for transferring files: ASCII, Binary and Auto.  ASCII files can be sent as binary files, but not vice-versa. If you are having trouble with a file that was transferred using ASCII, transfer it using binary or auto. Set your file type by selecting the appropriate radio button.
