Finding Files and Directories

by Webmaster last modified March 03, 2008 10:49 AM

Most computers divide their files among directories, which are equivalent to folders on the Macintosh. In order to get a file you should first go to the proper directory. Fetch displays the name of the current directory above the list on the left side of the window. The list contains the names of the files and sub-directories in the current directory.

 

If you have signed on to your server your current directory should be your home directory and there should be some folders visible in the file list.

 

You can change directory (another word for folder) in several ways. The simplest is to double-click on the name of a sub-directory in the list. The current directory will change to "example" and the file list will show the names in that sub-directory. If you click on the name of the current directory you will see a pop-up menu showing the current directory and its ancestors.
