Specifying a File

After you have defined the settings for transferring files, you can send a file to the host or receive a file from the host. You can select a file to transfer in one of two ways: by typing the name of the specific file to send or receive, or by browsing through a list of available files.

To type the name of a specific file

  1. On the Transfer menu, click Send File or Receive File. Either the Send File dialog box or Receive File dialog box appears.

  2. In the PC File Name box, type the name of the file to send or receive. Note that when receiving a file from the host application, if you type the name of an existing PC file, it will be overwritten by the host file.

  3. To review your settings, click Settings.
