| Instructions for setting up the Total Commander programme
One way to make such easy transfers is to use an FTP 'client' programme, of which many are freely available on the Internet.
We use the Total Commander programme.
Instructions for setting up the Total Commander programme can be found below.
These instructions are also available as a pdf file [1,5 MB].

slides.
Install the Total Commander programme.
The first time you run Total Commander, you’ll see that it bears a resemblance to the usual Windows Explorer interface. The main screen consists of two windows, from which all standard file operations can be carried out, such as copying, pasting, transferring or deleting files |
Operations can be carried out with the mouse (drag and drop), with standard shortcuts (Ctlr+C, Ctrl+V etc), or with the Function keys on the top row of your keyboard, as described at the bottom
of the programme window.
|
To configure the programme to connect to FTP servers, click the 'FTP' icon. |
Choose 'New connection...'
|
|
Fill in these fields in the dialogue box that appears, from top to
bottom: 'Host name', 'User name' and 'Password'. Next, click 'OK'.
|
Choose 'Connect', to connect to the FTP server you just specified.
|
After successfully connecting, the 'host name' will appear in the right window, along with any files or folders that are present on the server.
|
From the right window, you can browse for the files on your computer that you want to transfer to us. As mentioned earlier, you can either drag the files across from one window to the other,
use the 'copy' and 'paste' shortcuts, or the F5 Function key. |
A dialogue box will appear to confirm file transfer. Click 'OK'. |
The files will be copied to their target location from your computer. |
